RE: Beyond May 1st; Reimagining A Future For Workers.

in WorkLife28 days ago

Indeed, these issues are most troubling. I find that in South Africa there are many laws to protect the rights of workers and ensure that they are treated right.

But the monetary reward is a joke because of that inflation.

I am in a SENIOR position in my company and I do not earn enough to pay all my bills and I do not live a luxury lifestyle. This is just to pay rent, food, transport, internet and loans.

I am trapped here financially with no chance of getting out of it unless I can do additional work and break that cycle of debt in order to live.

It is also a holiday here. Have a good one! I shall be working!

Sort:  

It's better over there than what's happening in Nigeria even though we have laws but they are not effective when it comes to protecting the right of every worker.

I feel like being a worker is trap to remain in a cycle of earning and just spending with nothing to keep for later. With the inflation hitting hard, things are becoming worse and it's annoying that the authorities who are meant to make amendment would just fold hands just because they are doing well despite the problems.

I wish you a blessed day at work and pray that this year mark the beginning of the change we all want to see.
