Construction workers at 2010 soccer stadiums have declared a wage dispute with their employers, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Monday. "We have declared a dispute with the CCMA [Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration]," said NUM spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka. "The possibility for strike action is great." Seshoka said the South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors (Safcec) had offered a 7% wage increase. "We demanded 15% but the employer is only prepared to offer 7%." Seshoka said the parties were scheduled to meet at the CCMA on June 19. Safcec represents several big construction companies, including Group 5, Murray & Roberts, WBHO and Grinaker-LTA.
