Negotiations between striking petrol union workers and their employees have reached a deadlock after the strike commenced last week. Consumers have been left desperate as some petrol stations experienced disruptions in service.
Workers are refusing to back down on their demand for a 9% wage increase, while the union is offering 7%.
702's John Robbie spoke to Deputy Chairperson of the National Petroleum Employers Association, Zimisele Majamane, about petrol pumps running dry.

— Zimisele Majamane, National Petroleum Employers' Association
