Unions threaten strike over SAA CEO Vuyani Jarana's resignation
JOHANNESBURG - The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and the South African Cabin Crew Association have said their members' jobs and the future of struggling national carrier SAA are at stake after the resignation of Chief Executive Vuyani Jarana, threatening a possible strike if he is not reinstated.
In a joint statement late on Tuesday, Numsa and Sacca said Jarana had been frustrated by bureaucratic red-tape and accused the government of refusing to fund a turnaround strategy for the financially strapped airline. "Under these circumstances, Numsa and Sacca are calling an urgent meeting with the president of the country as we reject and refuse the resignation of Jarana and demand that he be reinstated with immediate effect."
