JSE-listed Comair, which operates British Airways in SA and low-cost carrier Kulula, says it is putting measures in place to ensure flights go ahead as scheduled despite a looming strike by staff.
On Tuesday, the National Union of Metalworkers of SA issued Comair with a strike notice, allowing its airport ground staff members to strike from Thursday afternoon — ahead of the busy long weekend. This follows a deadlock between Comair and Numsa about a salary discrepancy dispute. Comair said about a third of its 2,200 airport ground staff are Numsa members, although the dispute “centres on 21 personnel” whose salaries are higher than their colleagues’ for historical reasons.“Comair has a comprehensive contingency plan in place and intends to continue its daily operations,” it said on Tuesday evening.
