Press Statement dated 6 August 2018
A high profile FEDUSA top brass led by General Secretary Dennis George and Steve Harris, the General Secretary of the United National Transport Union (UNTU) – the FEDUSA affiliate at the passenger rail sector and the majority union at Bombela Concessionaire, the Gautrain management company – and made up of FEDUSA and UNTU staff will be out in full force tomorrow morning at the Gautrain Midrand Station in a show of public support for UNTU’s strike which entered the second week on Monday following a wage deadlock. UNTU is demanding a 10% wage increase to cope with runaway food, transport and school fees inflation compared to the company’s offer of only 8.5% and a R20 000 incentive bonus across the board.
