Petrol sector strike ends
Updated | By Jacaranda FM News
The strike in the petroleum sector has ended with workers expected back on the job by Monday, confirmed the Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers' Union (Ceppwawu).

The union entered into an agreement with the National Petroleum Employers' Association (NPEA), ending the three-week long strike.
Ceppwawu's Clement Chitja said a two-year agreement has been signed.
"It's a two-year agreement with a 7% increase in the first year, starting 1 July 1 and in the second year it's an April CPI plus 1.5% increase."
The issue of the shift allowance will be referred to the industry bargaining council.
He said not all workers demands were met.
"However we are happy ground has been made in terms of other aspects, including the shift allowance. It allows for the improvement of working conditions."
The strike primarily affected refineries and depots. It caused little disruption to the supply of fuel - with only a few petrol pumps running dry in Gauteng during the course of the strike.
Negotiations between Ceppwawu and the NPEA deadlocked last week.
The resolution comes following talks between the parties at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration.
