A union representing workers in the commuter bus services sector has suspended a strike action that was planned to hit the sector during the lucrative Easter Weekend.
The National Union of Metalworkers of SA announced on Tuesday it had slammed the brakes on the planned strike action after company bosses tabled a revised wage offer.
"They have also agreed to withdraw the threat of only implementing increases only for those workers who are currently employed as of March 31 2022, which means the increases would also be applicable to those who join the company after.

We will be giving feedback on this on April 22 when we meet with the SARPBAC. Up until now, the employer had not made any concession and had made no compromises, even though we had dropped our demands," he said.
