EWN reports that plastic sector workers affiliated to the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) will know on Friday whether they can go ahead with their wage strike.  

The employer obtained an interdict at the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Wednesday to force workers to report for duty on Thursday.  About 10,000 workers downed tools on Monday demanding a 15% salary increase.  They also want companies to pay them R40 an hour again instead of the new rate of around R20.
