Numsa calls off SAA strike, agrees on 5.9% wage increase | IOL Business Report

JOHANNESBURG - Striking workers unions at South African Airways have finally agreed to a 5.9 percent wage increase following a long-week strike and protracted negotiations at the airline.

SAA had been playing hardball with unions, saying it can only afford 5.9 percent wage increases in March, and that would be dependent on the availability of funds from its lenders. The airline said the first tranche of funding would be used to sustain operations while the second tranche would be prioritized for salaries when it is received in January/February 2020.

CCMA director, Cameron Morajane, commended the parties for remaining in process and restoring some measure of stability.
