A secondary strike by the SA Commercial, Catering, and Allied Workers Union at Massmart's operations had no impact on operations, the group said.
In an effort to ramp up pressure on Massmart, Saccawu last week announced a secondary strike by its members at six other Massmart Group companies, although these groups had already concluded their own wage negotiations. After arbitration aimed at breaking the deadlock failed, Saccawu kicked off the industrial action on Thursday.
Leroni said there was no notable impact on trading activity in Makro or other group stores as a result of the strike. "Because of this we see no reasonable opportunity to reach an agreement with Saccawu in the current negotiation cycle," he said.
