White Sasol Staff to Step Up Strike Over Share Plan Sept. 6

South Africa’s Solidarity labor union plans to escalate a strike at energy and chemicals company Sasol Ltd. from Sept. 6 over the exclusion of white staff from an employee-shareholding plan, deputy General-Secretary Deon Reyneke said. Members of the union began protests including a so-called go-slow at the company on Monday, Reyneke said in a phone interview. The full strike later this week will take place at Sasol’s Secunda plant, with workers planning to present a memorandum at its Sasolburg facility, according of the union.
