The verdict· graded 17 Sept

Talks deadlocked and SATAWU truck-driver members had a strike certificate, but the evidence does not show industrial action actually began.

The dated 2026-08-18 item shows only a deadlock in talks and that SATAWU truck drivers had already obtained a strike certificate, which is preparation rather than the start of industrial action. The undated agreement also does not establish that a strike began before 2026-09-15.
