Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan will update cabinet today about the situation at South African Airways. Courtesy #DStv403. Unions Numsa and Sacca are rejecting SAA business rescue practitioners’ move to slash jobs.
The practitioners are proposing terminating the employment of the airline’s entire workforce by the end of the month after the government denied R10-billion additional funding for the airline.
Workers need to sign the proposal by Friday. eNCA has seen the proposal which states that SAA’s assets will first have to be sold.
The value of the assets will determine if and when workers get their packages.
JUST IN: NUMSA & SACCA reject the proposal by #SAA BRPs to lay off all #SAA staff
In a statement the two unions say they are currently in talks with the shareholder & are of the firm belief that SAA can be saved & don’t believe workers should be subjected to signing the proposal. pic.twitter.com/19FtzJCozE— Heidi Giokos (@HeidiGiokos) April 19, 2020
