Talks to end Post Office strike
CWU deputy president Mathapelo Mphuthi said the meeting between the union and South African Post Office (Sapo) management would take place in Pretoria at 4pm.
Workers downed tools last Thursday, with the union charging that whites earned more than blacks for doing the same job.
Services affected most were mail collection and delivery, and door-to-door and counter-to-counter parcel delivery.
On Tuesday, thousands of protesting Pretoria post office employees gathered outside the city hall to hand over a memorandum of grievances to Sapo chief executive officer Motshoanetsi Lefoka.
Workers gave Sapo management three days to respond to their demands, vowing not to return to work until an agreement was signed.
