South African Court Halts Port Strike
The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union
(Satawu) said on Wednesday a court interdiction secured by the
national ports authority has stopped planned strike action at
ports from Thursday.
"Transnet National Ports Authority has interdicted the strike and
the Labour Court has reserved judgment until Sept. 5, meaning we
cannot go on strike tomorrow," union spokeswoman Zanele Sabela
said.
The strike was called after a deadlock over salary discrepancies
between white and black workers.
