As the industrial strike at dairy manufacturer Clover enters its 4th month, the company, and the General Industrial Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) have failed to reach a settlement on wages, work hours and other conditions as the strike entered its fourth month on Tuesday.
Mediation by bodies including the CCMA, the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and department of labour and the department of Trade Industry and Competition could not bridge the gap between he parties.
"We met with the unions last week and they rejected our latest offer out of hand. We cannot keep going in circles, up and down and all over the place. We have given our final offer in writing, there are no more deals on the table," said Clover's Group Legal Manager and Company secretary Steven Velthuysen.
Giwusa's secretary-general John Appolis could not be reached for comment.
