Gautrain workers disrupted services on Monday after wage negotiations reached a deadlock last week.
Incidents of intimidation and violence were reported at the Midrand station.
The union is demanding a 10% increase with other benefits.
Gautrain spokesperson Kesagee Nayager says: “The company has offered an 8.6% across the board increase. In the current economic climate we believe this to be a generous offer, especially when considering that annually over the last five years, the company has granted increases in excess of 8% which was significantly above inflation. To increase the company’s offer any further is neither responsible nor sustainable.”
