Fawu spokesman Dominique Swartz said about 100 striking SAB workers gathered at the company's premises in Newlands, Cape Town.
"We are handing over a memorandum which states that we want a nine percent increase," she said.
SAB is offering workers 7%, but Swartz said it worked out that this would mean wages rose by 4.4% and the remaining 2.6% relied on performance-related payments.
"We just think that is scandalous," said Swartz.
SAB management accepted the memorandum from the workers. The company said it had a contingency plan in place to minimise disruptions to operations and customers.
The Fawu strike began more than a week ago.
