In a joint statement on Tuesday, the two unions said on Monday the management of SAA issued a media release where they claimed that acting GCEO “Zuks Ramasia has commenced a consultation process with all employees in line with section 189 of the Labour Relations Act”. The unions said they had been in wage talks with the management of the airline, with the last meeting convening on Monday which was for discussing wage increases.
“But our demands for an increase for an 8% have been denied. This is why we are questioning the timing of this announcement. It is a veiled threat to get workers to drop their demands for wage increases and for the removal of the SAA board. They want to strike fear into the hearts of our members. We condemn the management with the contempt they deserve,” the statement reads.
The unions questioned the basis on which SAA management intended to restructure when the organisational redesign had not been completed.The unions accused SAA management of intending to “run away from holding” senior executives at the airline accountable for corruption and theft.
