EWN reports that the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers’ Union (Ceppwawu) says talks at the CCMA will continue on Tuesday in the hopes of reaching a deal that will bring an end to the ongoing strike in the petroleum sector.
The CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration) is leading the facilitation process to find a resolution to the dispute. The union is demanding an 8% wage increase, while the employers say they can only afford 7%. Last week, workers picketed outside petrol depots in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Ceppwawu’s Jerry Nkosi said: "We had to go back and report to members, so the feedback had been coming since yesterday in terms of where the discussions are."
