Absa vs Solidarity

A very interesting duel is developing between Absa and Solidarity.  This might just become a very interesting study in the power of Social Media.
 
As we all know Banks lie through their teeth and they will cheat to the nth degree to get what they want - If you differ from me I will send you some proof of this in my own encounters with this same famous bank. So far Solidarity's action has had over 380 000 tweets going around - The largest every initiated by a trade Union in South Africa.  

What is really the truth ?  I know people that have gone through the layoff process - Absaspeak off course gives a different view. They were actually told to clear out their desks,  being "marched out the office" and escorted out of the building with no regard to dignity - I can just see the smirks on the faces of the managers standing watching on the side. Unfortunately we cannot reveal their identity as this might just jeopardize their "possible re-employment"  by the bank.

Maybe , Just maybe Absa should stop their court action - It is not going to go well off with clients - But lets wait and see.
