Re:	POSSIBLE PORT STRIKE - SOUTH AFRICA

Dear NASA Member:

According to SA Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu), there is a possibility that 8,000 workers in South Africa might go on strike next week following failed negotiations between Satawu, NPA, and SAPO.

Satawu is planning a press conference on Thursday, May 26.

Will keep you posted on further updates regarding this situation.

Best regards,
