Officials Urge Negotiations with Stadium Laborers

World Cup officials and labor representatives are calling for better communication and negotiation between laborers and developers in order to make sure the 5 World Cup stadia under construction are completed.

An interdict to bar the strike called over a wage dispute for next Wednesday will be sought by the South African Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors on Friday, said Campanella who is the group’s spokesman.

The country’s labour relations body - the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration - has also called an urgent meeting between parties on Friday to discuss the dispute and the potential impact on 2010.
