South Africa’s national transport unions to strike over wages from October 6

The United National Transport Union (UNTU) served a 48 Hour's Notice on nationalized infrastructure operator, Transnet, indicating a Protected Strike from 6 October as after months of salary negotiation Transnet has yet to make an adequate offer for its employees.
After UNTU threatened to give notice of the industrial action, Transnet provided a proposal on 3 Oct 2022, which included a 1.5% increase and backpay from 1 April to 30 September is due to be paid in full by the end of March 2023.
UNTU rejected the offer as it is an insult to their members who helped this company back on track.
On October 4, Transnet applied to the National Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) to call conciliation discussions over the recent wave of negotiations.
Transnet urged unions, and Transnet workers, to accept its offer as it is the best possible deal that can be made right now.
