Civil service on strike

The civil services (about 1 million members) has been on strike here in good old SA for the past 10 days. Not that you would notice from a service delivery point of view. But they have been, and it's been violent. Schools and hospitals are the worst affected, and granted the teachers and nurses are probably the worst paid.
I have no problem with the strike, and in this case the reason for striking.
But I do draw the line with the violence! People are being stopped from going to school, that is pupils and non-striking teachers, to the point where they have been threatened, parents have been called mid morning to please fetch their kids as the school has to be evacuated due to the threats made.
The sick are being denied access to hospitals, and in many cases deliveries of essentials like food stuffs, bread, milk, even medicines are not being allowed through the gates. Doctors, specialists and nurses have been contacted at their homes and threatened. The very ill are being relocated to private hospitals where they will be cared for at the governments expense. That's going to cost a pretty penny. Baragwanath (now known by some other name) which was the biggest hospital in the southern hemisphere for many years, and is still the biggest in Africa this weekend declared itself a disaster area and closed down more than two thirds of its operation!

Now, as I said, anyone has the right to strike, but within the law.

However, In this weekend papers I read that the unions are now threatening to start pressurising the private hospitals and schools to also stop operating. Well, just because they are not getting their way with their strike and their negotiations with their government does not give them the right to threaten private service companies.

That will piss me off big time, and I have offered my "services" to some of those private institutions with which I have some contact. Please, give me a reason, just one......

Salagtle!
