The interests of employees and their unions on the one hand, and employers and our fragile economy on the other, are not fairly weightedTransnet employees picketed outside the state-owned entity's office on the Bluff, south of Durban last week. The company has finally signed a wage deal with one of the worker's unions.

We know that strikes are designed to inflict harm on employers, to force their agreement on higher wages and improved benefits. But this strike had a ripple effect into the heart of key industries which had no relationship with the unions involved yet bore the brunt of the impact of workers withdrawing their labour.
