S. Africa Auto Workers Strike Wednesday Over Salary Dispute

South African auto workers began a strike Wednesday in Johannesburg, as part of their demand for better wages.

A spokesman for the National Union of Metalworkers says he expects 31,000 members to participate.

The union has rejected the employers’ initial offer of a seven-percent pay hike, while seeking a 15 percent raise for its membership.

The strike impacts production at a number of carmakers, which include Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Company.

Some information in this story was provided by Reuters.
