The union last week served a notice to strike on the transport utility, joining the United National Transport Union , whose members went on strike on Thursday.

Transnet has said that Untu’s strike was unprotected, due to picketing rules that have not been finalised by the employer.Our salary bill is sitting at 66% of total operating costs, not sustainable: Transnet’s Ayanda Shezi “We have chosen strategic places where we’re going to picket, even though the employer has been stalling the process of agreeing on picketing rules purposefully, to try and continue with the narrative that the strike is unprotected and illegal, which is a fallacy on the basis that we’ve complied with all the nitty-gritty of the Labour Relations Act, including the constitution of the Transnet bargaining council, which is governing the bargaining between us and the employer.

BTW is Eskom_SA having enough coal to last till the strikers go back to work?
