The South African Petrol Retailers Association has reopened negotiations with the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa.

This comes after talks were suspended in the early hours of Friday morning.

Numsa-affiliated workers in the motor industry downed tools last week and are demanding a 15% wage increase.

SAPRA says they hope to make some progress in talks today because they’ve been receiving several worrying reports of intimidation by strikers at petrol stations

Meanwhile, The Competition Commission has uncovered an alliance in the tyre manufacturing industry.

This after one of the customers laid a complaint regarding price fixing against four tyre manufacturers and suppliers.

The Commission discovered that Apollo Tyres, Goodyear, Continental and Bridgestone adjusted their prices around the same time and within the same parameters.

Bridgestone is said to have applied for leniency
