EWN reports that the South African Petroleum Industry Association (Sapia) has assured motorists that fuel pumps won’t run dry due to a strike among workers in the petroleum producing sector. The strike entered its second day on Friday.
Members of the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers Union (Ceppwawu) are demanding a 9% pay hike, while employers have offered 6.5% (someother reports indicate 7%). Sapia’s Avhapfani Tshifularo said that, while some refineries were not operating at full staff capacity, more than 80% of employees have not downed tools. He added that reports about some stations being dry probably related to “slow movement of product going into the service station."
