Cape Town - Terry Bell clears up the continuing misunderstanding and confusion around the platinum wage issue after a Fin24 user castigated the miners for asking for a 300% increase in remuneration.
Bell blames the media for falling into the trap of not spelling out exactly what the wage issue is.
"Now, in the post election period, knives are out again... we will also look at the ongoing Cosatu battle."
Bell says he will go back to basics... the origin of unions and what they should be doing in this week's Inside Labour column.
"And should they (the unions) have their fingers in so many tills?"
