ComairANA reports that airline Comair indicated over the weekend that its operations were set to continue after talks with the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) again deadlocked on Saturday.  

“Comair again met with Numsa today (Saturday) but could not reach agreement with the union,” Comair said in a statement.  The Labour Court last week interdicted a planned strike by about 300 ground staff that had been scheduled to commence last Thursday afternoon across all airports.  But, it reserved judgment in the case which related to wage discrepancies.  Failure to reach an agreement means that the parties will now have to wait for the Labour Court to grant a final judgment on Comair’s application for an interdict against a potential strike.
