EWN reports that the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) indicated that it was hoping to meet with SA Airways (SAA) on Tuesday to resolve their labour dispute.  

On Wednesday, the union will be heading to the Johannesburg Labour Court in an attempt to overturn SAA’s interdict barring members from continuing with their strike.  Last week, 50 flights were cancelled as a result of the work stoppage by SAA cabin crew.  Workers were demanding better working conditions and an increase in their international meal allowance from $131 per day to $170.  The union’s Christopher Shabangu said they wanted to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.  “We’ll see what happens, otherwise the court appearance hasn’t been cancelled and it’s going ahead.  At the end of the day, we have to have that interdict overturned.”
