The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa has warned that members working at the Gautrain's operating company could down tools.A Gautrain spokesperson said the parties had agreed"upfront" to have three wage negotiation sittings, but that the union abandoned the negotiations after the second sitting.
The move was sparked by the Bombela Concession Company's decision to force workers to pay full fare to use the train. "The decision to abolish the staff cards is outrageous because our members cannot afford to pay to use the Gautrain because it is really expensive, hence the need for staff cards. We condemn the decision to terminate the staff cards in the strongest terms. There is no rationale for refusing workers the right to use the trains for free, because the train is their tool of work. Without the dedication and sweat of our members, the Gautrain would not be able to operate," he said.
Nayager added that the company and the union had agreed"upfront" to have three wage negotiation sittings, but the union abandoned the negotiations after the second sitting.
