Congress of South African Trade Union in the Western
Cape said it is still of the view that Metrorail’s increase of ticket prices
impose an extra burden on to commuters.
This as the planned Cosatu strike against the increase
of fares today was postponed due to Nedlac not issuing the strike certificate
for a legally protected strike in advanced.
Metrorail will be increasing ticket prices on the 1st
of July 2014.
Cosatu’s Provincial Secretary Tony Ehrenreich said
Nedlac is assisting us to meet with the ministry to try and find a solution to
the issue of bad train services as well as the increase in train fares.
“The matter of the train strike will continue to be on
Cosatu’s agenda as a way to ensure that we can improve and further assist our
members concerning this issue” Ehrenreich added.
