General secretary of the Professional Transport Workers Union Reckson Baloyi, says the three unions have signed an agreement and their members will be back at work on Monday.
The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) has rejected the offer of a nine percent increase and their members will continue with the strike.
