Unions agree to end an eight-day strike after state carrier South African Airways agreed to a wage deal that brought the cash-strapped state airline to the brink of collapse
JOHANNESBURG - South African Airways signed a wage deal with trade unions on Friday to end an eight-day strike that brought the cash-strapped state airline to the brink of collapse.
That was a similar deal to the one offered before two of the unions launched a strike on Nov. 15, making it a victory for SAA and government officials trying to curb steep financial losses at the airline. Some airline staff had returned to work during the strike as they were not paid while out on industrial action.
“We are therefore pleased to announce that we are calling off all strike action at SAA and SAAT with immediate effect, due to the fact that we have settled on a wage offer,” the unions said in a statement.The strike had cost the airline about 50 million rand a day. But there have been some signs recently that officials are starting to take a tougher line on loss-making state entities.
