BusinessLive reports that Comair, which operates British Airways (BA) in SA and low-cost carrier Kulula, announced on Thursday that it had won a temporary interdict against a planned strike by some of its ground crew.
Members of the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) had intended to go on strike at 1pm on Thursday, possibly disrupting travel during the busy Easter Weekend. The Labour Court reserved judgment, but interdicted the strike. Comair executive director Wrenelle Stander said the airline would continue to engage with Numsa over its demands. Numsa had given 48-hour strike notice on Tuesday, amid a dispute with the airline over salary disparities. The airline claimed that if the strike had gone ahead the impact would have been limited anyway.
