"The level of professionalism that Sasol workers put into their work is phenomenal. This is not fair, just give them their pay and a raise."

Elliott Rodger added:

"This is why unions are essential for the working class. I hope you guys received your hard work's pay soon."

Steve replied:

"In South Africa today, many workers are facing aggressive exploitation by companies that violate basic labour rights. A growing number of businesses are withholding salaries beyond the agreed-upon payday."

Thespeedking commented:

"I stand behind you fully on this one, it's unacceptable not to be paid, especially in our economy."
