Johannesburg - The National Union of Mineworkers (Num) has suspended a secondary strike due to be held in support of the ongoing public sector strike, a union official said on Wednesday.
"The National Union of Mineworkers has in the context of the current negotiations taking place in the public sector suspended the secondary strike which was scheduled to begintomorrow (Thursday)," NUM said in a statement.
"The intention of the suspension of the secondary strike is to give public servants sufficient time to consult with members and the state to finalise its talks with labour."
Public service trade unions were canvassing members on Wednesday on whether they would accept a new offer negotiated with the government. They had downed tools on August 18.
"We call on all the parties involved to ensure a speedy resolution to this dispute and to ensure that workers are happy," said Num general secretary Frans Baleni.
Num said if the strike was not resolved, it reserved its right to strike.
