National bus strike looms

Bush Radio News

A national bus strike is looming after wage dispute negotiations deadlocked with the South African Bus Employers Association this week.

The three unions, including the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union, say strike action is their only option to resolve the dispute.

The unions are demanding a 15% increase, while the employer is offering 6.5% .

A 48 hour strike notice will be issued today that will see about 15 000 workers embarking on strike action on Tuesday.
