SA worsted textiles sector in wage dispute with workers

The final positions of the parties were as follows: employers are offering a 6.25% wage increase and the trade union is demanding an 8.5% increase.

SACTWU has referred the dispute for Conciliation. If conciliation does not yield a settlement, the union intends to ballot its members for strike action.
