    In terms of a recent Court decision, the Union can be held liable for the action of its members during a strike.

    So - theoretically - the Union must pay for the damaged / destroyed trucks and loads - and medical expenses of the drivers.

    Last i heard the youth league were encouraging its memebers to join the military, and i suspect they have done so because they also also strike, not like the old days when you would have been beaten and thrown into jail to rot for the rest of your life or until a new goverment came into power and let everyone out.

    I am sure malema would engourage them to bring in the troops.

    COSATU unions have been violent for years destroying property. Not even the ConCourt judgement holding them liable seems to phase them. Lets see if the government has the balls to sue them for these damages.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    What Military? You really want to see chaos, then deploy the current people that wear Military uniforms. They can not even control them within their bases.

    ...they even steal medals to wear to the parade and functions. Aspiring IDI Amin! Then tells the press he was framed and it is a black/white issue. An officer that does not know his own medals and can not count to four?! (he wore six in stead of four medals).
