When strikers use live ammunition, or other weapons to inflict bodily harm, they are no longer strikers. They have crossed the line and became terrorists.?
The minute a striker arms him/her self with a weapon or a fire lighter
he/she should receive the confrontation given to any terrorist world wide.
Having said that, we
need to address the real reason behind the violence.
The buck stops with
the politicians.
There should be a rule
of as to how much company executives may earn as compared to the
workers. There should be an even gap
between all ranks or earners, from the bottom up. (Say a 15% increase in earnings between all grades and not 5%
at the lower end and 600% at the top)
Neither should the earnings
of workers (and executives) be fixed, but should be determined
according to the profitability of the mine or company. Earnings should be based of net
profits. It could be high – low – or
nothing, but the same rule should apply to all workers and executives.
It is time that the
gap between glut and starvation is addressed.
Unfortunately it can
not be done by reigning politicians because they will not be willing to give up
their luxurious lifestyles. This is
something the country will have to vote for and it is something only a new
parliament can implement across the board.
The best we can do, for
now, is to run a few pilot initiatives, just to test this new fairer profit
driven even-gap system.
