South African Union Sets Deadline for Passenger Rail Pay Talks

South Africa’s United National Transport Union threatened industrial action unless wage arbitration with the country’s passenger rail agency succeeds next month.

UNTU’s 2025/26 pay talks with the state-owned Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa moved to the third-party Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration in April, but the process has not made any progress, the union said in a statement Wednesday posted on X.
