Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu)

Stop the strike

Stop nou asb.

THIS IS AFFECTING THE COUNTRY.

This is affecting the country.

There should be a proper balance between capital and labour. Labour cannot demand what the employer cannot afford to pay. If the demand is unrealistic then the employer has no choice for if it pays the unrealistic amount it goes insolvent and the mine closes or alternatively the mine is closed as a result of the strike. The employers will be forced to mecanise their operations which will result in hugh unemployment. Tell the union to provide employment for its members and lets see how many find employment.At the same time employers should not abuse their workers and see that they receive a living wage, commensurate with the income and expenses of the company and not allow unrealistic salaries and bonuses to be paid to management at the expense of general employees. Lets not create another Inkandla. Surely rational mathematics should show what a company can pay and not be bull dozed by a union official who has limited knowledge of acceptable businee principles.

Put an end to the strikes, our families are suffering...

We cant go on like this. They are violent and damaging private property...

Put an end to AMCU's selfish request and let us return to work!

Ek dink dit is n goeie idee om so n bid dag byeen te roep. As almal opreg saam bid gaan dit baie help

Life is very much difficult and we are from far let's start where we are going somewhere please not back but forward please

Mooi so mense dit lyk my ons gaan so 6000 haal teen die naweek. Dit vorder beter maar teen hierdie spoed gaan ons omtrent nog agt weke vat om die volle getal te kry. Daar is groter dorpe as Rustenburg wat omtrent geen name op die lys het nie. Dit is nie net ons wat deur die staking geraak word nie, name. Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban en ek kan nog baie opnoem

I am a Union representative for EIS (Education Institute Scotland)and support your cause

Nog 980 vir die volgende duisend. Kom mense, gaan ons dit vanaand maak, voor more oggend ses uur

You people as Unions....get your salary every month....what about the people.....????!!!!....you don't care........!!!!....you've got a house.....food.....cars.....clothes.....and lots more.......you should be ashamed of yourselves....if the people don't want to work....give it to those that want to work...... :(

The leader of AMCU believes he is a Dictator as he lives in luxury whilst his members on strike suffer. The strikers are not the only people being exploted by this dictator it is all the community members in the affected areas whom are also suffering due to companies closing due to the affected force majours being issued.

no its all about saving face for AMCO now!Not about what the gross majority wants.

While striking workers stay in compounds and are being fed their families are the ones who suffer, why would they go back to work - they do not feel anything for their families at home.

Sstop this mad, irresponsible behaviour.

Sorry to say 'author, but at the rate the people is adding names on this petition, you can remove it from the internet. We will maybe have enough name by the end of the year at the rate it is growing now. I am realy sorry to say that the non strikers cant stand together

Stop di stakings die mense lei daaronder. Veral di kinders trek swaar want daar is ni kos ni, as di pa's ni werk ni, gaan dit bitter swaar vir die gesinne! Verstaan die swartmense dit nie, op die huige staduim lei wit swart en almal onder di stakings kan hule dit nie sien nie, want daar is mense wat wil graag werk en werk toe wil gaan, maar nee die donners staak en die mense en almal laat dit toe, hulle moet begin besluit wat hulle wil doen en aksies begin neem voordat heeltemal te laat gaan wees red nou wat te redde is, en laat die mense trug gaan werk toe dan hule kan salarisse verdien en vir hulle gesinne kan sorg!!!!

Employ white South africans and your problems will stop

The people that want to work don't get work those who have a job wants to strike there are many people who would work for a low salary then to have no income at all...every time the people on the mine wants to strike they put other mine workers lifes at risk so give the job to people who are willing to work then all can work at peace

Stop this STRIKE! Innocent People suffer. They've got the right to work! And the country also suffer. Why?

This strike is fueled by radicals that use people's emotions for their own monetary and political gain. They intimidate the community and workers through assault and murder.
In this case organized labour has become organized crime.
The only solution is to expose these criminals and remove them from society.
