Fears continue of Transnet looming employees’ strike due to a wage dispute. This follows <\/span>the<\/b> United National Transport Union (Untu) <\/span>confirming<\/b> on Wednesday <\/span>that it has<\/b> received the certificate of non-resolution from the CCMA on Wednesday. <\/span><\/p>\n

Untu declared a deadlock in talks for the 2025\/2026 financial year on Monday, rejecting Transnet\u2019s latest wage offer of 6%. Truckers Association of South Africa (TASA) voiced their concerns about the expected strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Untu said it had <\/span>received the certificate of non-resolution from the CCMA. \u201cHowever, we are busy with a balloting process so we can procedurally obtain a mandate from members on the strike action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Transnet, in a statement on Tuesday, said that it welcomed Untu\u2019s decision to ballot its members, as this will serve as a true reflection of employees\u2019 wishes. \u201cWe trust that the balloting process will be done in an appropriate manner, following acceptable protocols and prescripts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonny Molise, the deputy president of the Truckers Association of South Africa (Tasa), said <\/span>during<\/b> the 2022 strike, companies incurred losses estimated at around R815 000 per day. \u201cWe fear seeing similar patterns emerge now. Every day the port remains affected adds to the financial strain on operators, many of whom are still recovering from previous disruptions and the broader economic pressures.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Molise said the South African economy is heavily reliant on trade. \u201cDisruptions of this nature not only impact the logistics sector but also exert additional pressure on an already strained economy, particularly as we navigate challenges such as trade tariffs and global market volatility. We strongly believe that a collaborative approach is essential in resolving such issues.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tasa urges all involved parties, particularly the unions and Transnet, to engage in meaningful dialogue and find a resolution that avoids further damage, Molise said. \u201cIt is unfortunate that the situation has escalated to this point. We would have hoped for more proactive engagement and negotiation before industrial action was taken.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
