Salary negotiations resumed on Thursday between FlySafair and the SA Cabin Crew Association (SACCA) under the mediation of the CCMA. The union represents 65% of the airline’s 800 cabin crew staff.
Those members have been locked out by the airline.
SACCA has threatened to strike, with the union’s president saying it was willing to accept the tabled four-year agreement of between 6% and 7%, but that the employer included some non-financial benefits in the final documents, that were not bargained for and that would compromise the lives of workers.
The airline’s Kirby Gordon says they remain committed to a resolution with the cabin crew members to avoid strike action at FlySafair
The airline however says that a strike will not have a significant impact on FlySafair operations.
