Satawu says all 21,000 workers will down tools on Monday
The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union threatens major strike action on Monday, with as many as 21,000 workers expected to take part unless a new wage deal is struck with Transnet, the state owned transport and logistics group.
“To the extent possible, we will attend to invoke contingency plans and source external stand-in/temporary resources to ensure that the operations continue across the various terminals.” On Monday, the parties will meet at the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration , which has been brought in to try to broker a solution through meditation.“We have served Transnet with a 48-hour notice of our intention to strike, and our strike starts Monday. The company requested a meeting with us last Tuesday, where they tabled their so-called revised offer of 4%.
He said Satawu received a letter from the CCMA requesting a meeting to try to find a solution and avert the strike, which will also severely disrupt key mineral exports. This as a deadlock persists in wage negotiations with labour unions. The ministers said the current round of negotiations commenced with the government.
“The State capacity in Education, Police and Health has not been increasing in line with the growing population over the years, while wages have increased by an average of 2% above CPI between 2008/09 and 2019/20.”
