Workers Reject Strike

17 August 2011 By Alan Straton

What a wonderful and reassuring headline to wake up to in this mornings Herald. I must say thank you to our Municipal workers for saying No!!  Our streets have not been trashed, the ratepayers can but be grateful and appreciate the sensible reaction of our street workers.

As the Ward Councillor for Central this made my day. I remember so vividly the last strike when bins were tipped out into the streets, flower beds trashed and a mess created that was so sad to see.

Once again thank you to our municipal street workers for showing such a high level of intelligence and care for others and if anybody deserves a substantial wage rise it is you!

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
