Unions 1 Petroleum Industry 0

One Alf Ngobo, who purportedly represents the Petroleum Industries Employers Association, was on TV this morning offloading a palpable sense of relief that the strike is finally over but that motorists could still expect some pain while the refineries crank up again. Hurrah. That selfsame bunch of industry negotiators let half the country run dry with their dilly-dallying. Its time that some professionals took over this kind of negotiation, and at least let everyone know what was going on. So we would not have the SABC interviewing only strikers, unionists and petrol attendants who at best were one-sided and at worst, stiflingly boring .
