saa thumb medium95 76BusinessLive reports that the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) is expected to go to court on Wednesday to seek the immediate resumption of industrial action at SA Airways (SAA).  

Workers downed tools in April, demanding that the airline address their demands, primarily an increase in the daily meal allowance, from $131 a day to $170.  SAA then won an interdict against the strike — until 23 June — but the union maintains this was merely the result of a failure by the union to prepare its legal arguments in time.  SAA management and the union met on Tuesday evening.  Sacca general secretary Mpho Moikangoa said on Tuesday that the union was committed to engagement, but would proceed with a review should no agreement be reached.  SAA has proposed a facilitated process which must, within two months, present solutions that all parties find "reasonable and acceptable."
