JOHANNESBURG - Putco drivers have decided they will not be taking the latest wage deal.

This is after trade unions presented drivers with the proposed six percent increase.

The company had promised to resume operations on Monday, however, this has not happened so far.

Workers say anything less than the reinstatement of over 100 workers dismissed after embarking on the unprotected strike and honouring back pay is mere disrespect.

Putco says it is monitoring the processes.

As they go back to the drawing board, it seems Putco passengers will have to wait a while longer.
