Confusion over Telkom strike

There is confusion about whether the planned strike action by Telkom workers will go ahead today. The company says it will only know later this morning whether the strike against the profit-sharing scheme will go ahead. Telkom increased the minimum profit-sharing amount payable to employees on Friday, but the trade union Solidarity says this was too late to inform all of its members. Solidarity says the strike will probably go ahead as planned today while members are informed about the latest offer. Solidarity could not say whether members would accept the offer or not.
