A strike in the automotive industry will continue after workers rejected employers' latest wage offer, the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) said on Wednesday.

"The strike is not suspended after we had interactions with shop stewards, and a significant number of workers are not happy with the revised offer," Numsa spokesperson Castro Ngobese said.

Motor industry employers doubled a wage offer to striking workers, offering a 10% pay increase on Friday.

Ngobese said the union would discuss what areas of the offer needed to be revised at its central committee meeting on Thursday.

"We will develop a plan that we can take to the employers as part of resolving the strike," he said.

"The country has an army of unemployed that rely on these workers for their survival and the offer on the table gives them less to live on."
