JOHANNESBURG, June 22 (Reuters) - A South African trade union covering the energy and pharmaceuticals sectors said on Monday fuel and medical supplies would be at risk if a wage agreement was not reached by the end of this week. The Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers Union (CEPPWAWU) said companies offered a wage increase of between 4 and 6 percent. The union had asked for a 15 percent rise. The inflation rate stands at 8.4 percent.
