Fuel strike stakeholders to meet
As the petroleum sector strike continues, in the petroleum sector representatives of the union CEPPWAWU will meet the employer at the CCMA this afternoon.
According to CEPPWAWU's Clement Chitja a new commissioners proposal is expected to be tabled while fuel pumps have sporadically run dry in especially Gauteng.
Chitja added that they are not willing to budge a multi-year agreement.
"Our mandates vary and we will see if a deal is brokered today. Members have made it clear that they won't settle for a two year agreement," Chitja told Jacaranda FM News.
He added that they are hoping the employer will table a different offer while the strike continues in some areas.
"In some areas people have returned to work in order to off-set the intimidation of our members," he said.
He said it is not conducive for their members to sign a multi-year agreement in the petroleum sector.
