Cosatu on Wednesday, said the
farmworkers' strike in the Western Cape has
been suspended for one week.
The union federation's provincial
secretary Tony Ehrenreich said the strike would resume next Wednesday unless
Agri SA agreed to certain conditions.
Agri SA also needed to honor their previous
commitments to local-level agreements.
If the agricultural trade
association did not agree, the strike would resume, either generally or in
affected towns.
At least 180 people had been
arrested in connection with the protests since Wednesday last week.
