The Johannesburg Labour Court on Friday heard arguments for an application to prevent a construction strike that could see work on World Cup stadiums grind to a halt.
South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors (Safcec) spokesperson Joe Campanella said judgement on the matter would be handed down on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, an urgent meeting between Safcec and the National union of Mineworkers (NUM) was in progress at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
Construction workers at 2010 World Cup sites, represented by NUM, plan to down tools on July 8.
About 70 000 construction workers are likely to participate.
The decision to strike follows a deadlock in wage negotiations mediated by the CCMA.
Construction projects likely to be affected by the industrial action include the Moses Mabhida, Nelson Mandela, Soccer City and Mthatha stadiums. — Sapa
