JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa said on Tuesday that it has served local airline, Comair, with 48-hour notice to strike.
The union, whose members frequently downs tools at the airline, said this was over a dispute related to wage disparities at the airline following attempts to resolve the issue with Comair since late last year. Irvin Jim, NUMSA general secretary, said in a statement that they cannot allow a situation where the principle of equal pay for work of equal value was violated in the workplace.
