The Cape Chamber of Commerce on Thursday said the banking strike which was planned for Friday and which could have resulted in a complete shutdown of systems, including ATMs, should be seen as a warning to South Africa that better planning is necessary to deal with the changes brought about by the development of new technology. The labour federation the Congress of South African Trade Unions and its affiliate banking union Sasbo planned to protest job losses in the sector, but the Labour Court in Braamfontein on Thursday granted an interdict sought by Business Unity South Africa against the strike called.
