EWN reports that the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers’ Union (Ceppwawu) says that, while all its members should be back at work on Monday following a strike in the petroleum sector, it has asked employers for time to contact workers who are not in immediate reach.  

Ceppwawu's Clement Chitja explained:  “Workers have been returning to work.  The issue was that some workers were striking by staying at home and because they were off the picket line, we couldn’t immediately communicate with them.”
