While it is the right of union leaders to seek the interest of their members, it must be done with a measure of responsibility. I am appalled at the fact that the president of the PSA can come out openly on the electronic media to encourage his members to make an appearance at work, "sign the register and leave."
There has always been the perception that this is the normal culture within the public service and Watson Duke has endorsed this perception. It is these little acts of indiscretion which form the genesis of criminal behaviour in our society. Can any public servant who accedes to this immoral act reprimand his or her child who attends roll call and then cuts classes and leaves?
