The National Union of Mineworkers says the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors have only Thursday to reconsider their wage offer otherwise there will be a crippling strike at major 2010 FIFA World Cup construction sites.
The union wants a 15% wage increase for its members, while employers initially offered around 7.5%.

NUM’s Lesiba Seshoka says they are sticking to there wage demand.
By Thursday we are looking forward to them giving us a proper outcome and that is the 15% that we are looking for,” says Seshoka.
