About 15,000 striking South African truck drivers will return to work tomorrow after employers agreed to raise wages by at least 10 percent, as gold miners were fired for being part of an unauthorized stoppage.
Three transport unions agreed that strikes will end at 4 p.m., according to a statement by the Road Freight Employers’ Association. Drivers will return tomorrow, said Tebogo Masango, an administrator at the Transport and Allied Workers’ Union. Gold One International Ltd. said it fired 1,435 workers over a wildcat strike that started Oct. 1 at its Ezulwini operations.
