ANA reports that the National Union Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) said on Tuesday it was headed for a strike in the motor retail and components sector as talks with employers over wages and allowances remained deadlocked.
On Monday, Numsa had said the CCMA was intervening after talks with the Fuel Retailers Association of Southern Africa (FRA), the Retail Motor Industry (RMI) and National Employers Association of SA (Neasa) broke down over a peace clause locking the union into a three-year wage deal, among other issues. On Tuesday, the union said the negotiations with employers from the Motor Industries Bargaining Council (Mibco) had once more collapsed because the companies remained "inflexible". "It seems we are headed for a strike," Numsa indicated. The union added that if conciliation failed after another planned meeting on 30 September under the auspices of the CCMA, "then we are well within our rights to request a strike certificate, for an industry wide shut down".
