Retailer Woolworths and the South African Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers' Union (Saccawu) have reached agreement to resolve the organisational dispute that resulted in a strike, Woolies said on Tuesday.

The parties will enter into a verification exercise conducted under the auspices of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration.

Saccawu launched a strike four weeks ago demanding union recognition in dealing with workers' issues, but Woolies had always insisted that Saccawu did not have the required representation.
