While fighting the national carrier for a raise for workers the past week, the unions involved in the strike at SAA said they were determined to eliminate corruption and prevent privatisation of the airline. The unions said government had offered to pay the remaining 5.9% wage increment back pay from April this year in February next year.
“We are adamant this entity will be cleaned up. They can kiss those evergreen contracts goodbye. We will save the entity millions of rands through cancellation of unlawful tenders and we will save jobs,” said Hlubi-Majola. Unions warned that SAA must keep to their end of the bargain or face another industrial strike next year.
