South Africa's public sector strike is set to continue after the leading trade union federation Cosatu rejected an improved wage offer from the government. Cosatu said the majority of its affiliated unions had voted against the proposal.  "The unions met this afternoon and Cosatu rejected the offer. The strikes will continue and we will continue to consult our members," said Cosatu Secretary General Zwelinzima yesterday. The BBC reports that further talks are expected.
