(For those who are not familiar with the term in South Africa we call Gasoline -Petrol) We are currently going through a petrol strike, where it is like mission impossible to find petrol anywhere. This is due to the fact that the workers who supply and transport petrol have decided to strike until they get a 9% salary increase. Well because of their suffering the entire country is suffering.
I dont even know how many days are left before I run out of petrol and will not be able to make it to work. I cant concieve where these people get the guts to do this as there is such a job shortage that all these workers can be replaced in a matter of hours. I personally wouldnt. But this situation makes us all fearfull in that if we cannot make it to work due to the strike and petrol shortage - where is our job security?
Regardless if you the only one qualified to do the job, without a doubt there is someone sitting at home somewhere with the same qualifications as you who has not been as successful in finding a job. So for now South Africans are living with a lump in...
