TOLL workers in KwaZulu-Natal were back at work yesterday after an agreement was reached with Tolcon Lehumo, a trade union leader said.
"The strike is off on the basis of the qualitative agreement which was signed on Wednesday," SA Transport and Allied Workers Union KwaZulu-Natal secretary Joseph Dube said.
The agreement would allow Satawu to negotiate salaries after January 27 for all toll workers in the province, the Wilge tollgate in Free State and the De Hoek tollgate in Gauteng.
Some of Satawu's KwaZulu-Natal members employed at tollgates went on strike on January 7 demanding a basic salary of R3500 a month.
They reportedly earned less than R2500 a month.
The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration mediated and held talks between Satawu representatives and employer Tolcon Lehumo on Monday.
Toll plazas affected by the strike included Oribi, Port Shepstone, Mariannhill, Mooi River and the Tugela Plaza.
