The National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight and Logistics Industry (NBCRFLI) said on March 9 that “it may be necessary for the parties to council to shut down the industry for a period of time” until ongoing “senseless attacks” by members of a truck driver’s forum were stopped. “The parties to council are no longer willing to watch and wait for further attacks on their companies, which have cost innocent lives and billions of rands on infrastructure,” the NBCRFLI said.
