Motor industry braces for country-wide strike


The country's automotive manufacturing sector will grind to a halt on Monday.

This, as thousands of members of the metal workers union Numsa embark on a country-wide wage strike.

The union said that it had issued a strike notice to the Automobile Manufacturers Employers Association following failed wage talks.

The union is demanding a 14% wage increase while employers are offering 5.6%.

Ameo chief negotiator and chairperson, Thapelo Molapo, confirmed that workers would go on strike from Monday.

Eastern Cape motor manufacturers say they will wait to for tomorrow to check on attendance levels.
