SATAWU has issued an update on the Passenger Sector wage negotiations at SARPBC after the employer failed to present a revised offer. A certificate of non‑resolution was issued on 16 March 2026, opening the way for possible protected strike action as Bus Drivers continue fighting for fair wages and improved working conditions.
SATAWU Condemns Exploitation at Intercape On 13 August 2025, SATAWU raised serious concerns about the exploitation and unfair treatment of Intercape bus drivers. Reports reveal that workers face irregular hours, are forced to pay for accident-related damages, and are denied the right to unionize. SATAWU demands urgent intervention from the Department of Employment and Labour and calls on Intercape to respect workers’ rights and improve working conditions. 📞 Media Contact: Ms Amanda Tshemese – 062 945 721
