PRETORIA, July 18 (ANA) – The strike at the National Zoo in Pretoria, which started earlier this month, has come to an end after the National Zoological Gardens (NZG) of South Africa and employees affiliated to the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC) reached an agreement.
In a statement, the NZG said the agreement saw the parties agree to end the strike and workers are set to resume duties on Wednesday.
“Details of the negotiated settlement will be discussed with the NZG’s non-striking employees and other stakeholders,” the statement said.
“The NZG would like to express it thanks to the members of the public for their support during this period. It would also like to express appreciation to volunteers who aided the organisation.”
The strike began on July 8 with workers demanding overtime pay for working on weekends.
