strike boys strike for better wages, strike boys strike for better pay....

pete seeger, in the year unknown to me, but i remember this ditty, much like the song that went:
little boxes, little boxes, all made of ticky tacky, little boxes all the same.
ahhh!!, the 60's flower power, when hippies were hip,....and Seeger was making a point, about the conformist suburban or urban middle class life. when daisies were fashionable, beards were cool, and not attached to an islamist fundamentalist terrorist. just guitar toting, dagga smoking, anti Vietnam activists. who were chilling in the sun, and striking for better wages. the sixties a time for fairies
and picnics in the sun.

roll in the the year 2009, there isn't even a cool, thing to say about the decades beginning in the year 2000. having a beard is just criminal, flower power fashion is just so out dated, and who smokes weed anymore, it's all kinds of things, like crack,Ecstasy, drugs with names i cannot remember. we have become clones of American advertising. it's called globalisation.

but the "Strike", now that has taken on a new form in good old RSA, it has been tweaked to resemble, a great mafia organisation, that extorts money from God fearing, corner store owners.
there is Zwelinzima Viva, who's blustering rhetoric,continues to rake in the membership fees. he lives well, eats well, drives a nifty car, gets paid really well, and his job, is to make you strike, never to worry if it cripples the economy, increases debt, closes down businesses, just as long as he strikes for his pay.

the "strike" is there to bully government into submission. to extort deals that otherwise would not happen. government folds, as it's hands are so deep in the cookie jar, it's ministers so incompetent, it has no other option.

there are the "medical doctors" on strike for better pay, better working conditions,( you think they would like spa treatments included),..
better services. the better pay is paramount. so what happened to the Hippocratic oath, it took a back seat to an incompetent ministry, and a money hungry work force.
if patients die tough luck, that is the mafia at work, if the hospitals are dirty, doctors are to educated to pitch in, but not educated enough to get their staff, to pull finger and get on with it. surely since you are on the ground, working in state hospitals, and supposedly educated, you could get all the necessary people together, and start implementing better more efficient health services. oops i forget, that takes work. instead, call on Zwelenzima, and strike. work is not what we get paid for.

medical studies are state subsidised, intern doctors, have to give back by doing a two year community service, for this they get paid, paid to learn good deal, i would imagine. instead they are on strike for more pay. and still they believe they are there to give back to the community, by striking?...i would pay you for that to.
I forget i am paying for that. my tax money, is contributing to the state subsidy. in that case why don't i strike. oops then i would have a business that closes down, debts i couldn't handle, five people unemployed. so i must continue working so that others have the luxury of striking.
my proposal:
1. fire all the striking doctors
2. if people die because of the strike, sue the doctors on strike
3. hire doctors from other countries who are willing to work.
4. stop government subsidies to medical studies, let the students pay for their education.
5. if students don't like it, they can pay for educations at overseas institutions
6. the above ensures they need not suffer through community service.
after all it's not about community, right?

this is blackmail, to get government to screw people like you and i for more tax, and if i need medical help, i still have to rely on private institutions for which i pay a hefty medical aid. can i strike for my money back?

then the taxi's threatened strike action if they were not used for the confed and world cup. the threat of looking like asses in front of sepp blatter and his crew ensured that government and SAFA acceded to the threats.

public sector strikes have become the norm, from garbage collection, through to the revenue service. how about we utilise the same tactics, strike and not pay tax, or strike to get taxation reduced. so would all the public servants stand and support us when their pay packets get delayed. or they just dont get paid because there is no income tax revenue.

strange terminology."public servant"...i believe they forget they are in these jobs to serve us, instead we serve them, and the strike is the threat that keeps us serving. Zwelinzima wanted the "doctors" strike to end before they lost public support. the idiot doesn't realise he had no public support and it was lost before the srtike action started.

i need to get in on this action. who needs picnics in the sun, strike boys strike.
