Sugar workers in South Africa have gone back on strike after wage talks between FAWU and the Sugar Manufacturing and Refining Employers Association collapsed. The Food and Allied Workers Union is demanding a 13 percent wage increase, plus housing, transport and medical aid improvements. Employers have tabled a five-point-four percent increase, with another zero-point-six percent linked to a tariff adjustment. The dispute affects workers across the country's sugar manufacturing and refining plants. We spoke to Dominique  Martin, FAWU's media Officer.
