South African industries across the board uttered a collective sigh of relief yesterday (17 October) when the week-long Transnet strike was finally resolved.
The strike brought ports to a standstill and severely affected imports and exports. This was particularly acute at Durban, serving Toyota and other major exporters, and Gqeberha, which serves Volkswagen and other major exporters.
On Monday, Transnet reached a three-year wage deal agreement with the United National Transport Union (UNTU), which represents more than 50% of unionised staff. It is expected that the other unions will follow suit, and news reports already indicate that many workers are returning to their stations.
The deal includes a 6% increase in year one, a 5.5% increase in year two, and a 6% increase in year three, as well as medical aid and housing allowance increases.
Some analysts were surprised by the fact that the union, which until recently demanded a 12% wage increase, settled for a below-inflation deal.
The deal will apply to all workers in the sector (including non-unionised employees) with effect from 1 October.

The alarming rise in road fatalities in South Africa is a pressing issue driven by inadequate transport systems, ineffective mobility solutions and deteriorating road infrastructure. It is evident that current efforts to tackle these challenges are insufficient, according to the Automobile Association (AA).
We reported on the auction of a one-of-a-kind Audi RS6 Avant GT in November last year with part of proceeds going the Kutlwanong Centre for Maths, Science and Technology. Audi South Africa celebrated the official handover of a R500 000 donation to the Centre following the successful auction of the exclusive vehicle.
