sector strike has been suspended but whether the unions accept the state s latest offer or not this strike may well be and these things we are almost always fated to see only in retrospect a watershed in south african politics firstly amidst all the media opprobrium and invective against the strikers and the stories of intimidation there is also a picture emerging of the appalling state of the public sector whilst the very wealthy and even many middle class people simply avoid much of the public sector sourcing health services from medical aids and private hospitals sending their kids to private schools and living in gated communities cleaned by private companies most other south africans are dependent on public healthcare public schooling and other public services and not only have these been seriously neglected the very people who must provide the services teachers nurses state clerical workers are underpaid and angry enough to hold out for a protracted strike in order to get some improvement continue reading filed under regions africa trade unions leave a comment the information proletariat and globalization hookes posted on october 4 2010 by reinventinglabour the

moscow 11 12 july 2006 introduction the fetishisation of manual labour it is generally recognised that the character of work has changed considerably during the 20th century the classical marxist proletariat manual factory workers from being the overwhelming majority say 70 80 of the workforce are now between 10 20 in advanced capitalist countries those members of the workforce who provide services especially information processing and delivery services are now the majority 1 a sub group of the information proletariat are sometimes called knowledge workers that is those who jobs require high level of knowledge input obtained from advanced schooling they are now about one third of the workforce in the us more than twice as numerous as the manual factory proletariat they are expected to become at least 40 of the working population say by 2010 1 this latter group can be considered to be the new core proletariat of a knowledge based society it contains many highly privileged groups such as university teachers and researchers and so on whose level of alienation is let us say tolerable as well as less privileged technical knowledge workers the information proletariat as a whole
