Pretoria - South African Airways and unions reached a wage deal on Friday ending a strike that had travellers in a tailspin. Last weekend SAA had to cancel most of its flights, and try to assist passengers with seats on other carriers. SAA announced that workers would return today, and flights will resume as normal this weekend after it reached a deal with the South African Cabin Crew Association and the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa.
The unions launched the strike on November 15, shortly after the airline said a restructuring process that could affect nearly 950 employees. They also wanted more pay for their 3 000 members, and their demand of 8% was finally settled at 5.9% - with conditions. SAA is Africa’s second-largest carrier and had warned that the strike “endangers the future of the airline”.
Definitely not from their pissed-off ex-clients! Economical fact...once you've lost clients, statistically you don't get them back easily. Then the union still made remarks about lack of safety. Hell, I'd take the mail-ship before flying SAL again!
During the strike they said they were losing 50bil..or 50mil a day which ever is correct..so nie the strike is over they are making 50bil or 50mil a day is that not so..!!!...so they must source it from there..
Bailout. Taxpayers. Where else. Shut that pice of 💩 down
The Sky is the limit.
The real question is where did it Go?
Tax payer.
Yes please let us know Taxpayers are is the only way they know. Milk the payers
Tax payers
I am sure I could get the kids at the creche to 'strike' better than SAA !! What a bunch of losers !!
Disabled Children probably or the Mentally Ill. The ANC without the unions, aka voting cattle, are dead.
Tjhelete e tseng e nyamela moo ba tla e ntsha ba patale basebetsi ka yona.
Treasury
The few of us left working for our money and paying taxes, that is exactly where they are going to get it! The horse is dead, no matter how much money you spend it will remain dead!
Executives of public and private companies including our disproportionately paid parliamentarians must donate asinamali
It will come from the reader
I guess the print works are in high gear !
Errr, overseas bank accounts, bet there's a load of stash there; which rightfully belongs HERE!
The Sky!
