Unions vow to bring Transnet to a standstill over wage row: Transnet says it can’t afford to pay employees more
“We took it upon ourselves as the Satawu to reach out and ask the ministers and the presidency to intervene and make ways to assist Transnet. Only the two ministers responded, saying they are considering it and a meeting must be scheduled.”
A statement released by Satawu said it would serve the employer with a 48-hour notice to strike on Tuesday. Transnet said it had applied to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration to mediate in the dispute.
