Spokesman Andre Kriel said the move followed three rounds of failed negotiations.
When the latest talks ended, employers in the sector were offering a 6.25% wage increase, while the trade union wanted 8.5%. The union had referred the dispute for conciliation.
Kriel said if this did not yield a settlement, the union intended balloting its members for strike action.
Sactwu said wage increases in the sector were due on 1 July.
