Re post.
“We have to have a mindset of protecting the viability of businesses in general, while impressing upon businesses that your success comes from a talented and highly motivated workforce,” Really? A talented and highly motivated workforce? Where pray tell is such an entity to be found in this country? And by removing the Employment Act’s existing ‘12-year cap’ on severance/redundancy pay the government will be forcing employers to continue to be saddled with unproductive, and in many cases dishonest employees, as the current standard for private employers in labour negotiations is the golden handshake regardless of the reason for termination. This coming on top of VAT,increased business license fees, tax compliance hoops to jump through will be the straw that breaks the back of private business and FDI in this country. Government and the unions need to understand that while; "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries!"

It is you my friend that knows nothing of history. The Nazis invaded Norway on April 9 1940 and among other things built a plant to produce heavy water for their nuclear weapons program.
The the constant attacks by Norwegian resistance fighters, aided by British special forces and aircraft, finally succeeded in destroying the plant in 1943 giving the allies the upper hand in the race to develop the atom bombs which were used in Japan to end that war.
