on the face of it, there’s enough blame to pass around. wipa erred by not getting on the same page as the players, whatever that is; the wicb should be the one to make sure all was well before venturing on this tour; and the players action is self-destructive.
this new pay arrangement seems fair and balanced to me, but did wavell’s group sell it the right way to the players? if he did and they balked, well that reeks of selfishness and greed.
i’m staying tuned into this circus and see how it plays out.
We don’t know for sure if there were other forces at play but whatever the situation is, the players pulling out of the tour was a big mistake because now, everybody gets hurt, all because of the actions of a few privileged players who seem only concerned about their welfare and not that of anyone else.
it does not matter who deh pik. it is still an exploitative zero sum reality in which workers/labour must be exploited to keep those on top in place. that is the fundamental reality in the process that guarantees that there will ALWAYS BE LABOUR/MANAGEMENT DISPUTES THAT WILL ROCK THE BOAT CAUSING OVERALL INSTABILITY
THE EXPLOITATIVE SYSTEM AS IT IS, IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNSTABLE AND CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY PUNISHING THE CURRENT STRIKERS.
THE NEW PLAYERS WILL BE FORCED TO STRIKE TOO IN A COUPLE 3 YEARS, FOR THEIR VERY OWN SURVIVAL.
the situation cannot be resolved until and unless the system of exploitation is changed to one of cooperation and benefit for all. but those who live by exploitatin cannot give it for they will lose everything they have. keeping it means keeping the exploitation going. so there will always be labour disputes until the people get together and ends it all
Very well said MAPPIPPEE!
I cannot comprehend anyone not agreeing with the players on this occasion.
How many criticised the scab Shiv when he betrayed his own but the same were more than rapid in coming down on Sammy like a ton of bricks.
The WICB needs to be streamlined according to the Wilkins' recommendations.
