On Tuesday the Food and Allied Workers Union reached between striking De Doorns farm labourers and their employer.

Nearly 300 grape farm workers downed tools last week over a wage dispute.

The workers at Keurbosch-Kloof grape farm wanted R130 for a day's work, instead of the R64 they were previously receiving.

The union said the former owner of the establishment, who had since died, agreed to double their pay before new bosses moved in.
