More workers in the motor industry, including petrol attendants, who are affiliated to the National Union of Metalworkers of SA will down tools next week, the union announced on Tuesday.
“Seventy-two-thousand workers… [at] petrol stations, components, automotive retail, panel-beaters, car and spare parts, fitment workshops, truck body and trailer builders, and dealerships will be downing tools [on] September 2,” spokesman Castro Ngobese said in a statement.
The union is demanding a R30 per hour increase across the board on actual rates of pay in all sectors and divisions for workers earning above R6,000 per month by 2016, among other things.
Ngobese said a number of marches and demonstrations were planned for next week in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal.
