Strike set to spread to rail and port


 A strike by truck drivers is set to spread to rail and port workers this week.

The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union's Vincent Masoga says the union has applied at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration for permission to expand the strike to ports and railways.

Masoga said the union would continue to negotiate with employers, with the next meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

Satawu is asking for a 12% wage increase but is prepared to negotiate a compromise of 10% with employers.
