Comments on: South African Stadium Workers Back on Strike http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/south-african-stadium-workers-back-on-strike.html World Cup South Africa 2010 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:45:51 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Daryl http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/south-african-stadium-workers-back-on-strike.html/comment-page-1#comment-477549 Daryl Tue, 04 Dec 2007 15:58:08 +0000 http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/south-african-stadium-workers-back-on-strike.html#comment-477549 Jan, Have added a correct image of Nelspruit, thanks for pointing that out. I'm not doubting the warmth or sincerity of the South African people, or that strikes are part of life. But even though it's only 2007, the stadiums need to get completed and continuing strikes put that in doubt. Yes there's two and a half years until the World Cup, but that isn't forever. That's why I'd like to see the construction companies settle their differences with the workers, who obviously aren't happy with current conditions. If you know more about exactly what's going on between the workers and the management then I'd love to learn more. Jan,

The photo is not of Nelspruit, it is of Johannesburg stadium. The photo is also probably 4 to 5 months old. Further to that, this is 2007. The world cup is in 2010! One more thing, strikes are part of life. The South African labour force, are no different from any other labour force in the world. I would suggest that you travel to South Africa at some stage. You will find a progressive country with the warmest most sincere people. Please refrain from writing about something that you do not have a clue about.

I think it would be a tragedy if the world cup had to be moved from South Africa! Hopefully, the workers are treated to fairer compensation and wages and the contruction resumes. Well said, Daryl!
