eNCA reports that the SA Petroleum Industry Association says striking workers at refineries are causing petrol delivery delays by intimidating drivers. It claims have been threatened, so they will drive to petrol stations only once they know it's safe.
Over 15,000 workers affiliated to the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers Union (Ceppwawu) downed tools last week over wage increases. The union made the point on Monday that the current dire situation at the pumps should make logical sense to employers that common ground should be reached soon. Spokesperson Clement Chitja commented that it was not their desire to hit the third person, “but it makes the employers to be aware of the situation, so that they rise up and take the initiative to resolve the dispute so that there is no collateral damage when the two parties are fighting.”
The employers are apparently going to be convening a meeting on Monday among themselves.
