saa thumb medium95 76Fin24 reports that the Labour Court has granted South African Airways (SAA) a final order interdicting the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) and its members from embarking on industrial action and declaring last week’s industrial action an unprotected strike.  

This came after the court had granted an interim order in favour of the airline on 26 April.  SAA said in a statement issued on Wednesday that the order was granted after the labour union appealed to the court against the earlier interim order.   SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali said:  “We do not see this as a matter of winners and losers.  For us the key objective remains focusing on those things we must immediately pay attention to, so that the company remains in business and its employees looked after."  He went on to indicate that a mechanism has been proposed for consideration by Sacca to have a facilitated dispute resolution process during the next two months.
