Transnet Strike – List of Ports and Divisions Affected (so far)

By

As per a Transnet statement issued earlier, UNTU staff officially went on strike from midnight 6 October.

Transnet will be meeting SATAWU on Friday, 7 October to discuss a new wage offer. If the offer is rejected, SATAWU members will embark on a strike Monday, 10 October 2022.
