Fuel strike over

Solidarity, one of the unions involved in the strike said that a favourable wage agreement of 8,5% across the board and 10% for the lowest-paid workers had been reached.

Times Live says that the CCMA intervened in terms of Section 150 of the Labour Relations Act. Ending the strike will mean that petrol supplies, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng will return to normal.

IOL reports that the Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Industries, the General Industries Union of South Africa and Solidarity had demanded wage increases of 11% and a 40-hour working week.
