The crippling rail strike affecting ports, road freight and security is set to drag on next week after the SA Transport and Allied Workers' Union rejected Transnet's 11 percent pay increase offer.

Satawu president Ezrom Mabyana says they will mobilise other sectors for a solidarity strike. Speaking in Johannesburg, Mabyana said Satawu disagreed with United Transport and Allied Unions accepting 11 percent and would push for 13 percent.

Satawu is also still consulting its members at the Passenger Rail Agency of SA who are also on strike, and couldn't say when they would have a final decision.
