Car transport services in the Ports of South Africa is still being disrupted this morning, but according to the latest reports some of the transport unions have signed up for the latest offer, while others have rejected the offers and are still disrupting car delivery services in the ports. There are apparently some transport workers that have returned to work or are thinking about doing so and this could mean that some customers’ car freight has started to move, but for the moment it appears things are still at a standstill for the most part between Transnet and its troubled unions.
Transnet has been calling for the rest of the unions to follow the example of the unions that have returned to work, but so far the unions in question appear to have set their feet and don’t look like they plan on moving anytime soon. Transnet has also been vocal of late about their disappointment in the unions’ demands during tough financial times and their desire to try to find some common ground for both to stand on in this labour dispute. The unions on the other hand appear to be very guarded in their opinions and statements concerning this strike action, while being firm in their demands at the same time.
What does all this mean for customers that have vehicles waiting to be transported to destination? It most likely means that they’re at the mercy of a situation that they have little control over and they should probably try to be patient, since getting upset is probably going to be as effective as trying to talk to the unions and Transnet about their problems.
