Johannesburg - As the wage impasse in the aviation sector intensifies, it remains to be seen who will buckle first under the pressure over the next couple of days and go back to the negotiation table: SA Airways or the unions.
On Monday, workers affiliated to the SA Cabin Crew Association and the National Union of Metalworkers of SA said they remained resolute in their demands for an 8% salary increase and insourcing of workers at the national airline. But labour experts have since warned that there will be no winners in the ongoing conflict and that the protest action will have a negative impact on both the national carrier and workers.
“Strike action is not a good option for workers as they will not get their salaries. The strike will also put SAA in jeopardy. SAA losses will continue to be bigger,” said Professor Jannie Rossouw, head of economics and business science at Wits University. He added that while it had been reported that SAA was suffering financial losses of more than R5 billion, the government should get rid of it.
