Mavuso admonishes Transnet for capitulating to ‘unreasonable’ union demands
Business Leadership South Africa CEO Busisiwe Mavuso has said she was “astounded” to see news last week of State-owned Transnet's capitulation to unions’ strike threats, eventually agreeing to give workers 6% pay rises in each of the next three years. “This agreement represents a failure of leadership on both sides – militant unions holding the country hostage with strike threats and management caving to their demands without a fight,” she said in her weekly newsletter on June 17.
