Unions vow to fight 'unlawful retrenchments' caused by SAA route closures

The National Union of Metalworkers of SA and the SA Airways Cabin Crew Association said the move would have a devastating effect on workers and their families because it effectively meant that SAA in Port Elizabeth, Durban and East London would be closed down and workers retrenched.

The unions said that instead of being consulted, labour was merely informed of the decision and its devastating consequences in respect of job losses. The unions said it was concerning that the business rescue practitioners were unable to provide “any rational basis” for the cancellation of routes. “Not only were patently corrupt contracts not suspended but the very incompetent, if not corrupt, management which caused the demise of SAA was permitted to continue managing operations to the further detriment of SAA.”

“SAA’s biggest cost driver is not labour, it is the R25bn per year procurement spend which, since 2015, has been exposed in various forensic reports as being the product of looting, corruption and mismanagement.”

Aren’t the Unions the ones who went on strike to put SAA even further in trouble/debt? And now they want more input? joke

Just shut the entire airline down.

Union will fight retrenchment..how?..by going on strike..company has no money period..it was stolen in front of their eyes & they know the thieves..but decide to keep quiet

No sympathy for unions. Your bosses benefited from Zuma corruption in SAA. You put Zuma in power now your making noise. Zuma taught you a lesson.

Look on the company's those are not registered

Karma!!!

But, is it not the Unions who are the cause of SAA’s demise?

SAA procurement, procurement, procurement. Please can we get the names of the connected individuals with the fuel contracts, and any number of contracts at SAA? Les Matuson not to be trusted

Unions caused the retrenchments, why are they crying?
