Labour Court issues interdict to halt Port of Ngqura strike
State-owned Transnet on Sunday said it had obtained a court interdict from the Labour Court in Port Elizabeth to stop the illegal strike action by employees at the Ngqura Container Terminal.
The interdict also ordered workers to increase performance levels at the Port of Ngqura, where a “go-slow” has been under way for two weeks.
The order was issued to all operations employees at the terminal.
Operations have been disrupted by radio interference. Since the suspension of 11 employees last week, radio interference has stopped and operational performance has improved, Transnet said.
Operations at the Durban Container Terminal and the Cape Town Container Terminal have also improved, the company stated.
Transnet noted its awareness of the challenges that this has caused to various industries across the country, including the automotive industry and citrus exporters.
“We are working around the clock to find solutions, including prioritising urgent cargo,” commented Transnet group acting CE Mohammed Mahomedy.
“We are also continuing to refine our contingency plan in order to minimise the impact to the economy,” he said.
