Steel federation warns Numsa's strike could top 2014's action that cost SA's economy R6bn

South Africa's steel and engineering sector body says the decision by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) to down tools indefinitely in October could lead to a situation that's worse than's 2014 four-week strike that cost the economy R6-billion. Numsa secretary general Irvin Jim said on Tuesday that its membership opted to embark on a strike from October 5, after wage talks in the steel and engineering sector failed to reach a resolution.
