The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union is seeking mandate from its members, following Transet’s improved wage offer.
Satawu says the mandating process will be completed this afternoon.
In a statement the union says they are optimistic their membership will give the new wage offer the given light.
If their members approve the offer, it is likely that the agreement will be signed this afternoon and workers will return to work tomorrow, which could end a more than two-week-long strike over pay that has crippled railways and ports.
“The details of the new offer will only be shared with the public after all Satawu members in Transnet have been reached internally in the course of today,” the union said.
Satawu deputy president Robert Mashego says the union leaders are in favour of the offer, but refused to give details of the new offer.
The proposal is an improvement on the agreement previously signed with Utatu.
