Workers at South African plants owned by Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors Co. are weighing a wage offer that may end a week-long strike as employees in gold mines and construction companies consider walkouts.
The strike at the seven main car plants across the country may be close to being called off after the employers tabled a revised pay proposal. Details of the package, which haven’t been disclosed, are being presented to the workers today at plants in Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London, the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa said in an e-mailed statement.
