Negotiations between TransNamib management and workers went into recess towards the end of August but were expected to resume early in September. Employees are asking increases of between 12 and 13% for categories A1 to A3, B1 to B4, and C. Other demands include transport allowances, increased medical aid contributions, increased housing allowances, and long-service awards.
TransNamib chief communications officer Ailly Hangula-Paulino ruled out the possibility of a strike, should negotiations drag on until November. Union representatives declined to comment to the press.
