The chemical industry strike that has led to fuel shortages, is finally over, this comes after unions accepted the employers 8.5% wage increase on Monday.
“We have set up working groups to look at the 40 hour per week and double pay on public holidays, that some of the workers didn’t enjoy before this,” says CEPPWAWU trade union official, Julian Dirks.
Dirks adds that most of the members in the Petroleum sector will return to work on Tuesday morning.
“We are still in the process of communicating to those that have not returned to work as yet,” explains Dirks.
Solidarity and the SA Chemical Workers’ Union have already accepted an 8% wage increase.
