South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU) have warned of a possible bus strike ahead of the Easter weekend.
It follows wage talks with the South African Road Passenger Bargaining Council having collapsed. In February, the union declared a dispute.
A certificate of non-resolution has now been issued. A strike could proceed following a 30-day cooling-off period and 48-hour notice.
SATAWU is demanding a two-year wage deal with a 6.5% increase, rejecting the employer’s 3.25% offer as inadequate and accusing bus companies of forcing workers into protest action.
