Royal Dutch Shell Plc, BP Plc and other oil companies operating in South Africa will probably resume pay talks to end a 10-day strike that has caused fuel shortages.

“We are consulting our members with a view to going back to the negotiating table tomorrow,” Clement Chitja, a spokesman for the Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers Union, said today by mobile phone. While the union, one of four on strike, may temper some demands, it won’t settle for pay increases of less than 10 percent, he said.
