Security strike negotiations deadlock again

No solution could yet be found for the strike by security guards that has claimed the lives of several people and is in its seventh week.

Talks between Satawu and employers deadlocked yet again last night and have been scheduled to resume later today. Satawu says employers are insisting on being allowed to discipline striking members as a precondition to reopening wage bargaining and this is unacceptable. The union is also considering a wage deal put forward by the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration.
