News24 reports that the Johannesburg Labour Court on Wednesday granted SA Airways (SAA) an interim interdict against striking members of the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca).
Adv. Michael van As, for SAA, appeared briefly before the court on Wednesday, but Sacca failed to meet a deadline of 13:00 to challenge the interdict application. The matter was then postponed until 23 June for final arguments. SAA applied for an order to have its striking cabin crew staff return to work immediately and in its affidavit claimed that the strike on Wednesday was unprotected. Sacca asked the court for a delay to file its own court papers to challenge the SAA application, but it failed to meet this deadline. The airline received notification of intent to strike on Tuesday.
