Petroleum employees demand 9% increase
Thousands of South African workers in the petroleum sector are not letting up on their strike for better wages.
Some 20 000 workers are demanding a 9% increase.
Pumps at fuel stations could run dry in about three days time should the industrial action continue.
Clement Chitja is with the union CEPPWAWU and says their members will continue to picket outside their work places.
"Tomorrow they will observe a day away for the entire weekend and they will be back to picket again from Monday," he said.
He says there are indications that talks could continue with the employer.
"Primarily, they will want to remove their conditional offer based on the two-year agreement and we might see that flourishing into a meeting in the near future," he said.
