Transnet strike threatens berry industry's 30 000 livelihoods

JOHANNESBURG: The South African berry industry has called for an urgent intervention to end the ongoing strike at state-owned rail freight entity, Transnet.

Days before the strike began, Transnet had reassured Berries ZA that wage talks were under control but the parastal lost a bid to interdict the strike in the Johannesburg Labour Court on Saturday. Over a third of local berry producers are currently not profitable, which means their survival and their livelihoods are under severe threat.

"The open-ended strike has occurred during the peak of the berry export season, impacting the entire berry value chain and 30 000 livelihoods who depend on the industry as well as the projected R3 billion in export revenue this season," said Walsh.
