The executive of airline division, Wrenelle Stander, was not immediately available for comment.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa said on Tuesday that it has served local airline Comair with 48-hour notice to strike.
In December, Numsa went on strike demanding a salary hike of 12%, a guaranteed 13th cheque, travelling allowance, 15% of basic salary as a shift allowance, as well as a daily overtime allowance. The union wants the employer to immediately bridge the gap between all workers with a wage gap of less than R1,000; do so within 12 months on workers’ compensation with a wage gap of between R1,000 to R2,000, and do so within three years on workers with a gap of more than R5,000.
Irvin Jim, Numsa general secretary, said in a statement that they could not allow a situation where the principle of equal pay for work of equal value was violated in the workplace.
