We go there with an open mind and objectivity but we do not have much hope that we will find a political solution to the dispute.
Obviously, I don't have much hope for that.
More than 50,000 union members would be involved in the (planned strike) action. We are indeed ready to strike.
Everything possible must be done to avoid it (job losses) and it (restructuring) has to be done in that spirit.
No matter which way you try and spin it, there's no doubt the strike has been effective.
We are hoping that by Monday next week we will formally announce the content of our plan of action.
The key areas affected are the Durban and Richards Bay ports, where we're expecting close to 100% participation.
There's been a credibility problem with management. They've conducted themselves in an arrogant, imposing and unilateral manner.
We want SAA, but we need to make sure our workers are protected and the strike is legal.
