Does #employeeownership make companies more resilient? 2014 research by @cassbusiness suggests employee-owned companies are better placed to weather recession https://t.co/LhgVi65Ahq
with solutions to save and create new jobs so we can grow the economy as a nation instead of destroying the economy. Employee Ownership is one of the solution, government must provide Employee Ownership Incentives or Tax Benefits to encourage companies to sell shares to EO Trusts
What role do unions play in changing the Economic situation and save jobs in South Africa? It is a fact that unions when their members are faced with challenges like retrenchments, their immediate reaction is to strike in their respective companies, government institutions, SOE
process or speculating to retrench approximately more than 5000 employees / workers.
If SABC, Denel, SAA was not bailed out several times, jobs could have been lost. It is about time that Unions start thinking about new ways of dealing with the threat of loss of jobs and comeup
Loadshedding is a headache and is impeding economic growth for South Africa. Leaders are also contradicting each other over the issue. However, government, unions and political parties are not willing and ready to take a bold decision to simple end the problem.
We should have a strategy that encourages generation of electricity (building Power Stations using Broad Based Ownership) through Employee Ownership, Youth, Women and People with Disabilities. We should have a set aside or quotas (Procurement) reserved only for the above.
Unions should play their role not only on Labour issues, they should contribute significantly on Ownership to avoid lot of job losses in the above Industries.
For Proper Socio-Economic Transfomation and Broad Based Ownership or Empowerment, Republic of South Africa should encourage Mining, Energy Generation and Agriculture-Agro processing to be owned 100% or majority Owned by Employees (through Employees Ownership Trust or Worker
Cooperative) This strategy will help in Succession planning to avoid the problem like Optimum Mine and many others in the Country. There are lot of employees in those sectors who have the right managerial skills and expertise to manage thise Companies Owned by Employees.

It is not about privatising ESKOM or unbundling ESKOM, it's about making ESKOM efficient and sustanable to supply the energy the country needs. Unions and Political parties are failing to come up with the long lasting solutions that will mutual benefit every participant
it's empowerment of Broad Based or marginalised groups. The equation should be posed to the institutions like IDC, PIC, DBSA and other private funders like the Commercial Banks. Government waist money every day through programmers that are no beneficial to the economy or create
