Pumps run dry as strikes intensify
AT LEAST 16 Engen petrol staions ran dry yesterday as a petroleum workers' strike entered its thired day, Engen comfirmed yesterday.
Soildarity added fuel to the fire when the trade union announced yesterday that it was joining the petroleum industry action in protest against masive pay hikes of executives at Sasol, even though the information has been in the public domain for a long time.
Dirk Hermann, Solidarity's deputy general secretary, said that the Sasol executive pay increases, including incentive bonuses, ranged from 62.6 percent to 100.1 percent, which was about 13 to 21 times the current rate of inflation.
