Make unions pay a deposit

It quotes Russell Loubser, the outgoing chief executive of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange as saying that the deposit could be used to repair damages caused by unruly mobs.

He said that making unions put down a hefty deposit prior to a strike might be a way of combating losses incurred by businesses and individuals that stand by an watch as their property is damaged or their shops looted.

In a separate article, Business Report quotes Loubser as saying the global financial markets are making the same mistakes that were made in 2008 by banning the short selling of financial shares.

Business Report says that Loubser has warned that the global community is "close to tipping over into a depression".
