Johannesburg - The Solidarity union will start a pay strike at petrochemical group Sasol [JSE:SOL] on Monday, joining a walkout in the nation's petroleum sector that has left hundreds of fuel pumps dry.
"It is expected their plants will come to a standstill as almost all of the technical and strategic posts at these plants are filled by Solidarity members," the union said in a statement.
Solidarity, whose members at Sasol do vital and technical work, also said state-owned petroleum group PetroSA would be hit by the industrial action.
Tens of thousands of fuel-sector workers began walking out on Monday, delaying deliveries and sparking panic-buying at service stations in the economic hub of Gauteng province, which includes Johannesburg.
