Approximately 200 Western Cape Shoprite workers have been suspended by the company after the three month strike.

The SA Commercial Catering and Allied Workers Union (SACCAWU) confirmed last week that a wage agreement has been reached.

However the return of striking workers to work has not yet been set as there is still unresolved issues.

Workers have returned to work but those that were involved in serious misconduct have been suspended awaiting disciplinary hearings.

Crosby Booi, provincial secretary of SACCAWU said that the union is currently in talks to resolve the issue and proposals have been put forward.
