Pivotal Family Lawsuit Against Blackwater USA Blocked from Court — and Moved to Panel with Company Ties
A landmark lawsuit brought by the families of four employees of the security firm Blackwater USA killed in Iraq three years ago has been partially derailed. This week, a federal judge ordered the lawsuit to be decided behind closed doors in arbitration — allowing Blackwater to avoid public examination of its practices in Iraq. One of the three arbitrators could be William Webster, who served as head of the FBI and CIA under President Reagan and has personal and business ties to several Blackwater lawyers. We speak with Bill Sizemore of The Virginian-Pilot, and Jeremy Scahill, author of "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army." [includes rush transcript]
Jeremy Scahill Responds to Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, Visits Blackwater Sites and Prince's Hometown
Blackwater has remained relatively quiet in the face of its critics, but last week, the company's founder, Erik Prince, wrote an article to the Grand Rapids Press in response to a series of articles in the paper on Blackwater. The paper has referred to Jeremy Scahill's book as putting Prince in the national media spotlight. We get Scahill's response, and hear about his recent visit to Prince's hometown and new Blackwater sites in California and Illinois. [includes rush transcript]

book spotlight: in the face of inequality by melissa e. wooten
In the Face of Inequality: How Black Colleges Adapt is a new book on historically black colleges by Melissa E. Wooten. The purpose of the book is to ask how the field of HBCs has evolved over its history and to provide a sociological answer to this question. The book is built on a series of questions that most organizational theorists would find intuitive – how is the HBC field organized? How do HBCs pursue collective action? How do they build legitimacy and how have they responded to the ere of desegregation?
After providing an overview of the HBC field, Wooten answers these questions by looking at "adaptive episodes" where HBCs come together to address various financial and political problems. For example, there is a highly informative discussion of the United Negro College Fund, which remains one of the most important financial instruments for supporting Black students seeking a college education. The UNCF is also one of the most important accreditation agencies in the HBC field. The gist of the argument about the UNCF is that was both a financial project and also a legitimacy building project. It also had some important unintented consequences – by favoring standards selected by UNCF donors, HBCs were encouraged to adopt the forms that did not directly challenge the social and political practices that ensured low status for Blacks.
Aside from being an important sociological study of the HBC field, In the Face of Inequality is an important example of institutionalism 3.0 – the research project linking institutional theory with other major streams of modern sociology. This text connects institutionalism with race theory. For these reasons, it's a good book. Recommended!

how to write a book 2: the publication process
The book publication process is very different than journal publishing. The journal process is fairly impersonal and bureaucratic. Yes, once in a while, an editor will help out his buddies, but journals receive hundreds of submissions and they have to be processed. Most are judged impersonally (though with the editors' tastes). In contrast, book publication is a very soft, often personal process. Some book publication histories resemble the journal process. You send it in, the editor sends it out for review, and then the reviews determine if it gets published. In other cases, editors will suggest that someone write a book and then work personally with the author to guide it through the process.
Let's start with nuts and bolts and then move to some Q&A:
- The author either starts with a proposal, a sample chapter, or the whole thing. They contact an editor who then decides to review.
- Editors come in a few flavors. There are "acquisition" editors whose job it is to sort submissions. The "list" editors are in charge of certain types of books. E.g., the health editor managers health books. There are also more senior editors who have a leadership role.
- Once something is submitted, you fill out a survey. Who are you? What is the book about? Who will buy it?
- Then, the book is sent to 1-3 peer reviewers. It is usually single blind. Reviewers see the authors, but not the other way. Usually, they are peers. Sometimes, non-academics or professors on the publisher's board. Reviews range from "good job, move along" to very detailed responses.
- The proposal, the manuscript, the survey, and the reviews are then taken to the board for academic presses and to more senior editors for private presses. The whole package is evaluated. Sometimes you get a reject. Sometimes you get an "advance contract" (see below). Sometimes you get an "interesting, try again" – an "R&R."
- If all you submitted is a proposal and sample chapter, "thumbs up" means you have permission to submit the entire packaged when ready. You can ask for the "advance contract." If you submitted the whole thing, "thumbs up" means you get a publication contract – the final step before the book is "in the system" and moving toward publication. You might be done with it, or you need to do some revisions.
- Next week, I will talk about the nitty gritty of making the physical/ebook.
- Q: Should I submit a proposal or whole book? A: My opinion is that you should try to submit the entire book, unless you are pressed for time. The reason is that it is much easier to judge the quality of the book once you can see all the parts. Less micro-managing by reviewers. Also, it signals to an editor that you have your act together.
- Q: What is an "advance contract?" A: It is a contract with the press that says that they will consider the book for review upon completion. It is not a promise to publish. Some people find this useful because it shows hiring and promotion committees that the project is real. So yes, it is good, but it is a very modest step. That is why a lot of people won't get hired just on the advance contract. There needs to be a "real" publication contract.
- Q: Can I submit to more than one press at a time? A: Yes. The norm seems to be that you can submit to a few at a time and of similar prestige. Too many submits, and it looks weird. If you get an offer from a low tier press, the high tier may not take it seriously.
- Q: How do I identify a good press and the editor? A: First, look at your bookshelf. Cambridge published a lot in protest movements, so movement scholars should try that first. Second, think about impact. Will the press help you reach the right audience. To learn about editors, use your networks and talk to them at professional meetings. Email sometimes works, but I have found it to be highly variable.
Next week: more on publication and writing it up.

how to write a book 1: the mindset
Today and tomorrow, I will discuss book writing. Today's post will be about the basic mindset behind book writing. Most academics are trained to write articles. In some fields, an article might be a few pages long, or a few dozen pages. Books are longer and more ambitious in scope. Their length and sustained argument is a challenge and many academic are not able to complete such a book due to training or temperament.
So here, I want to outline some key differences and help you get in the mindset about writing a book:
- Books are not about narrow nitty gritty arguments. They are sustained arguments in a (mostly) verbal format. You should only write a book when each part of your argument involves a journal article length explanation. Otherwise, think about cutting down to journal size.
- Books are good for very verbal areas (historical work); arguments that collect a lot of different data and thus can't fit in a 35 page paper; and big ideas that might reach a broad public.
- Books often have wider audiences, even technical books. A well written book can be discussed in academic journals, learned journals (e.g., Foreign Affairs), and mass media (e.g., the NY Times). Even a technical book might reach out, in that other specialists will want to consult "the book" on a topic that goes into gory detail. So when you write a book, be prepared to explain what bigger audience you might be shooting for.
- Books need to justify their existence. It costs about $20k for a single print book. These costs will only be recouped if you sell about 1,000 copies at $20 a pop. Only offer an idea that will (a) be bought by libraries and (b) have some justification to a larger public or cross-disciplinary academic audience.
- Bill Germano's book writing guide gets it right – you only have 20 pages to really justify the book. If an editor doesn't get it after about 10 minutes, it won't get published.
Tomorrow, the book publication process.

when anarchism is a decent option: the case of somalia
Africanists like to toss around the words "failed state." But what they falsely assume is that there is only one option – building a stronger state. What would happen if the state just withered and people just let it go? Are people better off by just ditching the weak state? A 2006 article in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization by Benjamin Powell, Ryan Ford, and Alex Nowratseh asks exactly this question. They ask, what happened in Somalia after their state collapsed 1991?
Somalia is a nation that was hammered by war, famine, dictators, and an out of control socialist state. In the 1991, the state collapsed and people reverted to tribal forms of governance based on Islamic courts and kinship (the Xeer system). In 2005, Powell et al. collected basic data on longevity, health, roads, money, and law. Then they asked, how does Somalia compare with other African states?
The answer is surprising. On many measures, Somalia post-1991 actually does well compared to 42 other sub-Saharan states. On at least five measures (including life expectancy and mortality), Somalia is in the top half (p. 662). On a few important measures (such as water access and immunization), they are near the bottom. Even then, they often improved in absolute terms, though not in relative terms. When you compared Somalia with neighbors that had been at war, they report improvements in most measures while other warring states saw declines. Somalia has also seen an expansion of its pastoral economy, a functional currency, and the best mobile phone system in the region. The major setback for Somalia is a depressing performance with regard to infant mortality, which probably relates to poor immunization rates. Still, statelessness did not lead to chaos. Rather, Somalia continued to resemble other African societies on most measures.
This is not an argument for selling off the White House, but it does make an extremely important comparative institutional point. High quality Western systems of governance are simply not on the table. There is no way these impoverished societies can create the level of wealth needed for Western style states in the short term. It is also the case that the options are horrible – dictatorships or Marxist states. If those are your choices, it might be plausible to evolve into a decentralized legal system.

June 14, 2015 - I bought three of these; the azure one last year, and the multi and red ones recently. They're lovely scarves, with brilliant colors, and they go with lots of different clothes. they're also very lightweight; I'll wear one to a (summer) wedding soon as a shawl. Extraordinary value.
May 17, 2015 - I have the lavender azure and multi color one love all 3 lite enough for summer and spring but warm enough to also wear for fall and winter only thing I had wrong my lavender one has a small hole in it looks like it may have gotten cough on something when it was folded
May 15, 2015 - The red one is gorgeous! The multi has colors I didn't see in the photograph. The blue is lovely as well. My only complaint is like another one I read here--the blue ones feel more like polyester and feel a bit "cheap", not as soft and lovely as they appear. Sorry.
September 29, 2014 - I bought this for a gift for my bst girlfriend. I was a bit disappointed in the weave (?) or texture of the scarf. It looks more cottony in the photo and feels like polyester. Sorry to be so frank.
August 21, 2014 - I love the colors in this scarf along with the metallic silver threads. It is light weight and quite versatile. It was a great purchase.

Culinary wives tales
There isn't much food science being taught at school, but for me, it's an important part of learning how to cook. I do a lot of research on my own, trying to understand the chemical reactions and effects temperatures and elements have on the recipes we've made in class, and recipes I'm developing at home and for work.
So this week, when Chef told us to add a little oil to our butter to extend the smoking point, I raised my hand. I learned otherwise. I tested it first hand. I knew it wasn't true. I assumed it was just something he was told at some point during his career, and he believed it to be true.
I started thinking about other culinary wives tales we have been told, and wondered why they continue to be taught:
the need to add salt to water when cooking green vegetables; sear meat to seal in the juices; stock must be started with cold water; add oil to pasta water to prevent sticking, to name a few.
I'm guessing that "guessing" was the root of the wives tales, until a few smarty-pants people tested the hypothesis and settled any dispute on whether or not the technique really worked.
My next question for Chef will be about blooming spices. We're forbidden to bloom in oil during class, being allowed to only toast spices in a dry pan and then add to the recipe. The theory is that the oil will make the spices bitter. I have no idea if it's true; I imagine it's not, as long as you control the heat of the oil. After all, centuries of Indian cuisine can't be wrong. Or can it?
What's the craziest culinary wives tale you've been told, and how did you discover the truth?

Authors Talk: Van Gogh: The Life
You can trust authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith to know about artists; the pair won the Pulitzer Prize for their 1991 biography Jackson Pollock: An American Saga. So when they take the stage today to discuss their latest book in Authors Talk: Van Gogh: The Life, you know you'll be getting the real story behind one of the most famous artists who ever lived. The Dutch impressionist is famous not only for his work, but also for his raucous personal life. He spent some time working as an art dealer, like his brother, and then went on to the pulpit, before turning to painting full time. But for all his genius, Van Gogh was troubled by bouts of mental illness and is thought to have eventually committed suicide. Naifeh and Smith will discuss that and much, much more at today's lecture. 6:30 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713‑639-7300 or visit www.mfah.org. Free.

BBC Culture has this week unveiled a new list of the top 100 American films, as voted for by a pool of international film critics from across the globe. The format of the poll was that any film that would make the list had to have recieved funding from a Us source, and the directors of the films did not need to be from the USA, nor did the films voted for need to be filmed in the Us.
Critics were asked to submit their top 10 lists, which would try to find the top 100 American films that while "not necessarily the most important, but the greatest on an emotional level". The list, as you may have guessed, is very different to the lists curated by say the BFI or AFI over the years, so there are certainly a few surprises on here, with Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave (2013), Terrence Malick »

First off, let's make one thing clear. We're not scratching our heads at Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" making the BBC's 100 greatest American films. That movie, of which an image accompanies this post, not only made the list, but ranked appropriately at no. 25. It's the rest of the selections that have us scratching and, yes, shaking our heads in disbelief. A wonderful page view driver, these sorts of lists make great fodder for passionate movie fans no matter what their age or part of the world they hail from. There is nothing more entertaining than watching two critics from opposite ends of the globe try to debate whether "The Dark Knight" should have been nominated for best picture or make a list like this. Even in this age of short form content where Vines, Shapchats and Instagram videos have captured viewers attention, movies will continue to inspire because »

Leave it to the Brits to compile a list of the best American films of all-time. BBC Culture has published a list of what it calls "The 100 Greatest American Films", as selected by 62 international film critics in order to "get a global perspective on American film." As BBC Culture notes, the critics polled represent a combination of broadcasters, book authors and reviewers at various newspapers and magazines across the world. As for what makes an American filmc "Any movie that received funding from a U.S. source," BBC Culture's publication states, which is to say the terminology was quite loose, but the list contains a majority of the staples you'd expect to see. Citizen Kane -- what elsec -- comes in at #1, and in typical fashion The Godfather follows at #2. Vertigo, which in 2012 topped Sight & Sound's list of the greatest films of all-time, comes in at #3 on BBC Culture's list. »

Every now and then a major publication or news organisation comes up with a top fifty or one hundred films of all time list - a list which always stirs up debate, discussion and often interesting arguments about the justifications of the list's inclusions, ordering and notable exclusions.
Today it's the turn of BBC Culture who consulted sixty-two international film critics including print reviews, bloggers, broadcasters and film academics to come up with what they consider the one-hundred greatest American films of all time. To qualify, the film had to be made by a U.S. studio or mostly funded by American money.
Usually when a list of this type is done it is by institutes or publications within the United States asking American critics their favourites. This time it's non-American critics born outside the culture what they think are the best representations of that culture. Specifically they were asked »

Orson Welles gave one of his most Shakespearean performances as an ageing, corrupt police chief in this remarkable melodrama
All liberals should memorise this film's superb line, spoken by, all of people, Charlton Heston: "A policeman's job is only easy in a police state!" Orson Welles's brilliant 1958 noir melodrama Touch of Evil is now on rerelease. Adapted by Welles from Whit Masterson's pulp thriller Badge of Evil, it had streaks of teen degradation and reefer madness, and the most intense interracial relationship since The Searchers.

Spoilers ahead for the second season of True Detective. The first season of True Detective was, if nothing else, a hotbed of references and influences — everything from Nietzsche to Robert Chambers's book The King in Yellow to Orson Welles's Touch of Evil to the films of Michael Mann. The arrival of the second season suggests things will be no different this time around — no matter what series creator Nic Pizzolatto and his directors may actually say. And one of the most prominent influences on this new season appears to be the work of David Lynch. Of course, Pizzolatto has made his fondness for Lynch known in the past, and the director's Lost Highway felt like a key influence on last season as well. (Plus, Twin Peaks is already the granddaddy of most shows that feature an ongoing investigation over an entire season.) But based on what we've seen, »

Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles, 2015
Directed by Chuck Workman
A documentary exploring the life and work of Orson Welles…
Vincent van Gogh, famously, sold only one painting in his lifetime. Leonardo Da Vinci struggled to finish many of the commissions he was given – his Last Supper is technically unfinished as he intended to include a roof on the mural. Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles lifts the widely-respected filmmaker to such heights. Akin to van Gogh and Da Vinci, his canon of films includes multiple financial losses, alongside incomplete masterpieces that, even now, are rumoured to be lost in the deepest depths of Southern America. From Citizen Kane to F for Fake, his history is fascinating, and director Chuck Workman, takes us on the bumpy journey through his life.

Big, grizzled, with spit and stubble, Orson Welles dismantled the notion of what a movie star should look like. As it returns to cinemas, Michael Newton celebrates his Touch of Evil, the last great film noir of Hollywood's golden age
In Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver finds himself in the kingdom of Brobdingnag, where the people are 60ft tall. Scale is everything; blown up to gigantic proportions the human face becomes rough, pitted, the seemingly immaculate skin unmasked as imperfect. In the 20th century, Brobdingnag transformed into the picture house, a place for the pygmy public to stare up at the great stars. However, far from seeming less perfect, the enlarged human face seemed more wonderful, smoothed-out by celluloid, unattainable. Yet still strangeness clung to these super-sized persons, those colossal faces.
Welles understood this, and so returned us to the Swiftian vision. In his movies, the human »

London — The 50th edition of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival is to include a special section entitled Six Close Encounters, in which six directors who share a history with the festival will present one of their favorite films.
"It is extremely important to us that we maintain long-term relationships with filmmakers whose work we follow continuously, often from the beginning of their careers, which in many cases were launched at the festival," artistic director Karel Och said.
With this in mind, the event asked six directors to select and personally present a favorite film that played a fundamental role in defining their own filmmaking styles.
The directors contributing to the showcase are Mark Cousins, Kim Ki-duk, Sergei Loznitsa, Luis Minarro, Michael R. Roskam and Sion Sono.

Orson Welles' 1958 noir masterpiece Touch of Evil is returning to the big screen this summer thanks to the BFI, and you can check out a trailer for the re-release right here…
Charlton Heston (starring here as Mexican border cop Mike Vargas) was apparently instrumental in persuading B-movie producer Albert Zugsmith to hire Orson Welles – who hadn't directed in Hollywood for a decade – to make Touch of Evil.
Beginning with one of the most celebrated tracking shots in cinema history, a bravura three-minute take in which a bomb is planted in a car that then explodes after crossing the Us border, Welles created a baroque, highly stylised masterpiece from inauspiciously pulpy source material.
With its story of murder, marijuana and police corruption, Touch of Evil is considered among the last of the 1940s/50s cycle of crime thrillers known as film noir. Welles' vivid turn as corpulent bent cop Quinlan »

While the narrative these days around Orson Welles tends to focus on his unfinished films or the wacky work he did in the latter stages of his career, like editing pornos, it can't be overstated that he was an absolutely brilliant filmmaker. Of course, there's "Citizen Kane," but even the studio-mangled "The Magnificent Ambersons" shines in its truncated form, "The Stranger" is an underrrated gem, and then there's "Touch Of Evil." It's a flat out noir masterpiece and audiences in the U.K. are going to get to see it on the big screen once again this summer. Read More: Retrospective: The Directorial Films Of Orson Welles As with many of his films, Welles saw his original vision for "Touch Of Evil" manhandled by the studio.

Orson Welles' career and filmography is essentially split into two categories: the filmmaking master behind "Citizen Kane," "The Magnificent Ambersons," and "Touch Of Evil," and the washout who starred in commercials, and did various less than prestigious jobs for money. And a curio from that latter category has been unearthed. Read More: Retrospective: The Directorial Films Of Orson Welles In Josh Karp's new book "Orson Welles's Last Movie: The Making of The Other Side of the Wind," the author brings up the previously not-well-known story of Orson Welles' brief job editing a lesbian sex scene in the 1975 porno "3 A.M." The movie was directed by Gary Graver (working under the pseudonym Robert McCallum), who was actually the cinematographer on Welles still unfinished "The Other Side Of The Wind" (for which there's a current crowd-sourcing campaign).

Landon'S Take:
Orson Welles is celebrated as one of the foremost visionaries in the history of American filmmaking. He's also renowned as the perennial artist against the system. While both of these factors make Welles perhaps the ideal auteur – someone satisfied with nothing less than a perfect articulation of his individual vision within the collaborative medium of filmmaking – it also presents some unique problems in examining works that were taken away from him.
The classically celebrated auteurs of studio era Hollywood (e.g., Hawks, Ford, Hitchcock) were known for creating individuated worldviews across their body of work either despite or even because of the strictures inherent in Classical Hollywood filmmaking. This was not Welles, who from his rise to infamy with the 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast to his first studio feature made a name by challenging the assumed utilities of a medium. Neither could »

"Because of the feeling, fixed by social example, that (Violence) was the only quite correct, the only really decent relief for wounded honor—the only one which did not imply some subtle derogation, some dulling and retracting of the fine edge of pride, some indefinable but intolerable loss of caste and manly face." —Wilbur Cash, The Mind of the SouthThe first thing we see either in the show or the movies is the fabled warning about the stunts that are about to be performed—which indicates a priestly marking off of sacred space. These are priests or something or other. Only they can do this. This most High Tomfoolery.

Orson Welles was ready to make a comeback with one last movie . with a movie about a director making a comeback with one last movie. It was called The Other Side of the Wind and Welles shot it with a number of actors, including John Huston, but it was never completed due to ongoing financial and legal battles. However, this might all change. A group of producers set up an Indiegogo account and are looking for donations to fund the editing and postproduction for The Other Side of the Wind. Welles completed principal photography, but died before he could finish this process. The legendary filmmaker behind such titles as Citizen Kane, Don Quixote and Touch of Evil attempted to fund the project himself. However, he eventually had to enlist a number of backers, with a number of them backing out. Welles took a number of acting gigs . television, commercials and »

Roger Federer defeated in Hamburg semi by qualifier
Federer, a four-time champion in Hamburg, was outplayed by No. 114-ranked Federico Delbonis, who advanced to his first career final.

HAMBURG—In a further sign of his decline, Roger Federer lost to Argentine qualifier Federico Delbonis 7-6 (7), 7-6 (4) in the semifinals of the German Tennis Championships on Saturday.
Federer, a four-time champion in Hamburg, was outplayed by the No. 114-ranked left-hander who advanced to his first career final.
"He played well, he was a little more aggressive," Federer said.
Federer took a wild card for Hamburg after losing in the second round at Wimbledon.
The 31-year-old Swiss ace has dropped to No. 5, his lowest ranking in a decade. He has won one title this year, on grass in Halle, Germany, before Wimbledon.
Federer lost to No. 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky — a player who failed to qualify for Hamburg — as the defending Wimbledon champion.
It was his earliest Grand Slam defeat in 10 years, and his first loss to a player ranked outside the top 100 since 2005.
Federer changed his racket after Wimbledon, going for a bigger frame. But he struggled in Hamburg, going to three sets in two of his previous three matches.
Delbonis will play Fabio Fognini of Italy, who moved within one win of his second title in two weeks when he beat third-seeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain 6-4, 7-6 (1).
Delbonis was playing only the second semifinal of his career but maintained his composure and gave Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam champ, only two break points, one of which he saved.
Federer broke for a 2-1 lead but was broken right back and had to save two set points to force the tiebreaker. He squandered a 4-2 lead, was unable to convert his one set point and saved three with service winners before Delbonis converted his fourth with a smash after some well-played points.
Federer came under pressure immediately in the second set and had to fend off three break points in his opening service game and another in the sixth. Delbonis saved one break point in the next game with a superb volley winner.
In the tiebreaker, Federer made two straight groundstroke errors and he netted a forehand on Delbonis' first match point.
Delbonis will jump to a career-high ranking of around No. 59, according to the ATP.
Fognini won his first career title in Stuttgart last week and is riding a nine-match winning streak.
"I feel incredible," Fognini said.
It was the Italian's 24th win on clay this season. Fognini is the second Italian to reach the final in Hamburg after Adriano Panatta lost to Manuel Orantes in 1972.
Almagro is second in career clay-court titles among active players with 12. Rafael Nadal has 42.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
28 May 2014 11:30 GMT | Africa
A wage strike in South Africa's sugar industry has brought production to a standstill for the first time since 1997.
Over 5,500 workers from three unions "embarked on a protected strike" on Tuesday following a breakdown in discussions, producer Tongaat Hulett said in a statement.
The strike is indefinite, there are no timelines. It depends on the assessment by the members of the union who are on strike, so I cannot say it will end in a week or in a year. It also depends on whether the employers will come back to the negotiation table and try and meet us halfway.
Katishi Masemola, FAWU Gen Sec.
"Operations at Tongaat Hulett's South African Sugar business unit have stopped," it added without giving numbers.
The stoppages were industry-wide and not limited to the firm, it said.
Earlier, the Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) said over 5,500 members of the three groups would stop work in the sugar milling and refining sectors.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Katishi Masemola, FAWU's general secretary, said the union had not given employers a deadline.
"We will write them a letter later today and ask them to come to the negotiation table." he said.
They are demanding a 10.5 percent wage increase, a 40-hour workweek, benefits and permanent employment for contract workers, according to FAWU.
Tongaat Hulett has offered 8.5 percent against the workers' demands for 10.5 percent, according to Sapa news agency.
The firm produced 634,000 tonnes of sugar in the 2013-2014 season - 27 percent of South Africa's total production.
The industrial action comes a few months shy of South Africa's traditional "strike season" around the middle of the year, when unions down tools to bargain for higher salaries. It is also the first time the industry has come to a standstill in 17 years. In 1997, the strike lasted 10 days.
Meanwhile official data showed Tuesday the country's economy shrunk by 0.6 percent in the first quarter of the year. The fall in productivity was largely due to a huge loss of output in the mining industry, which decreased by almost 25%.
