SAA has informed employees that it will start consultations, in terms of the Labour Relations Act, which could lead to retrenchments at the ailing airline.
SAA's business rescue practitioners, Les Matuson and Siviwe Dongwana, said on Monday that notices of consultation were issued to all the recognised unions for employees and management.
“Our intention has always been to preserve as many jobs as possible through this process while still focusing on having a sustainable airline and platform for growth,” they said. The changes needed were therefore both structural and economic, and were urgent if liquidation — where all employees would lose their jobs — were to be ultimately avoided, they said.
