Auto strike continues amid new wage offer

Johannesburg - Shop stewards will consult striking National Union of Metalworkers of SA members in the automotive industry on a revised wage offer, the union said on Tuesday.

"They will report back to the national executive committee on Wednesday," Numsa spokesperson Castro Ngobese said.

The last meeting between Retail Motor Industry employers and the union took place on Sunday night as the strike by Numsa members entered its fourth week.

Numsa wanted a double digit wage increase and changes to conditions of employment such as the banning of labour brokers, establishment of a short time workers' fund, and a transport allowance.

"The employers [have] made a formal and written revised offer on wages, threshold, short time, labour brokers, equal pay for equal work, and implementation date of the wage increase," Ngobese said.

Until a deal was agreed on, the strike would continue.
