Both the engagements is taking place under the guidance of Senior Commissioner’s of the CCMA, in the Transnet instance two Senior Commissioner’s are mediating between the Parties.
 

TRANSNET

An invitation was received from Transnet to continue tonight at the CCMA, with two Senior Commissioners, as from 18H00 in a last attempt to resolve the dispute. Currently as at above time of 22h45 discussions are at a sensitive state for both Parties. Once an acceptable   agreement has been tabled you will be informed accordingly. 

PRASA RAIL

A 10 % Across The Board  Increase (genuine one this time) is captured in a draft agreement, which we believe will be accepted by our members if the reference in  the draft to specific service conditions that must be negotiated “away” ,within a specific period, could be removed from the Draft Agreement.

UTATU remains hopeful that we could end both strikes before the end of the week.
