Wage talks in S.Africa truck driver strike collapse MyZA

JOHANNESBURG Oct 4 (Reuters) – Wage talks to end a strike
by more than 20,000 truck drivers in South Africa have collapsed
after unions rejected the employers 18 percent pay rise offer
over two years, the Road Freight Employers Association said on
Thursday.

“This afternoon the unions responded that once again they do
not accept the deal which met their demand of 18 percent over
two years,” the employer group said.

Fuel suppliers have started to feel the pinch as the strike
entered its second week, with deliveries to pumps delayed and
stations running out of certain types of fuel.
