EWN reports that the South African Cabin Crew Association (Sacca) says it will resume talks with South African Airways (SAA) on Monday morning in an attempt to avoid another strike.  

Sacca was granted permission to strike, but decided to rather renegotiate the terms of its international meal allowance with the airline’s management.  In April, 50 SAA international and domestic flights were cancelled when cabin crew members went on a one-day strike.  Sacca's president Zazi Nsibanyoni-Mugambi said they would not hesitate to strike again if SAA refused to come to the table.  “We do not want to just take a reckless decision.  Obviously, it impacts a lot of our customers, we can’t take it lightly.  So, we obviously want to exhaust every possible avenue before we take that decision.”
