Tvg do you press working for sanral have to have an etag?
Much as some may call you names for having a tag it is my honest belief that they may wish to see sanral fail. . But they would not want to see you unemployed. ... dogs are not like that. ....
Personally I hope you find something else soon. I cannot see sanral forcing people to pay in the short to medium term.. and government will not ball them out indefinitely. Even if they refuse to review car licences. . Can the government afford an eighty percent loss of licence fee revenue?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. .a year from now I wonder where the chips will lay. ...
Yes mate at least you know and recall that I was without a job for close to a year. As it is nowdays with medics the market is flooded. Back in 2004 uip to 2009 companies got my e mail from who knows where and offered me jobs as I am a well experienced remote site medic. I have been a medic since 1999 after national service and in EMS SA (fire, medical,rescue and hazmat) for close to 15 years before I continued my career abroad. However, the Gov set ou bursaries to help grade 12's with career oppertuneties and the marked is now flooded with thousands of young well qualified medics and still huge groups of student are being trained. Course name; ECT - 2 years
So I have advertised all over, swallowed my pride and even asked on WD's for help. So a WD helped met to get into ER24 and unto the Sanral project as a motorbike medic. Now I am here and of course before the 3rd of Dec one of the directors urged employees to get tagged and even took us into the service station. So what do you do as an employee, do you kick against it and tell your boss you will never? Easy to sit on the side and make comments, being in the deep water is another story. So yes, that is my side of the story and like mentioned above, I can't affort to 'maybe' get nasty suprizes later on and forsed to pay and play the catch up game. This is what most other people do as well. All other WD's even that got tagged said the same, they are alreaddy on a budged and don't want to be forced to pay later and play the catch up game. We all are obviously against it because we as workers claas feel it. Yes like I said before, there is at least some sort of a service that you pay for (but is should be there in any way) and the only real benefit I have or like is that the tag works on bakwena and now safes the frustration (especially fridays) of a quee.
I am still looking for contract work or other work that pays better, but for now I am stuck in the 'sanral orange uniform' and need to make the best of it. I would love to see this system fail, but I can't participate in it.
Remember the threat about; would you spend R100 000 on your dog for knee replacement?
My answer was no because I cannot affort it; but if I was still earning big money abroad I woul have spent that money on my dog yes! This is the same scenario, the poor people rather get tagged, pay discounted tarrifs and play safe because all are scared that if sanral wins this they will have to catch up......if this doesn't make sense to any one I must rather accept that I'm an idiot then
