Truck driver strike – correction

11 Mar 2012 - by Reader comment

I refer to the article regarding the Satawu strike re truck driver wages.
I am the labour relations manager for the Road Freight Employers' Association which is the employer party to the Road Freight bargaining council and I can assure you that we are not currently in wage negotiations with the union.
Ms Mataboge, who is quoted in the article, is also not a sector co-ordinator in our industry.
It seems the official you referred to in the article in actual fact represents the passenger sector.
