Transnet welcomes UNTU’s decision to embark on strike ballot after wage talks deadlock

# Transnet says it welcomes the decision by the United National Transport Union to ballot its members, as this will serve as a true reflection of employees’ wishes. The union is set to approach its members for a strike balloting process after wage talks with the state-owned entity deadlocked on Monday. Transnet says the final offer of a six-percent increase in the first and second years and 5.5-percent in the third year, is in recognition that job security is essential for employee well-being and its long-term sustainability.
