No political will to deal with violent strikes, lawyer says
There is no political will to deal with the problem of violent strike action, law firm Cowan-Harper-Madikizela employment head Neil Coetzer has said.
“We should not be naïve. Even though there is an historical significance to the right to strike, there is nothing magical about it. There is no reason why the right to strike should trump the rights to life, property, freedom and security,” he said on the second day of the Metal Industries Collective Bargaining Summit in Johannesburg on May 24.
