strike thumb medium85 85Business Report writes that disgruntled Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) employees have threatened to continue their legal wage strike indefinitely if their demands for a salary hike are not met by Friday.  

Employees are demanding a wage increase of 15%.  Demonstrations began on Wednesday after discussions between the SA Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers’ Union (Saccawu) and the TMACC management deadlocked.  The union was presented with a new offer of a 10% increase to all staff earning under R10,000 and 8% the others.  But, it rejected the offer and pushed ahead with the strike.  There are reportedly 120 workers on strike, leaving TMACC running at a lower capacity.
