United Association of SA (Uasa) sector manager Willie van Eeden said on Thursday that unions were currently awaiting a date for talks under the auspices of the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA). Wage demands remained unchanged‚ he said.
On Tuesday‚ unions in wage negotiations with SAA said they had revised upwards their wage demands from single digits to 11%‚ after the airline’s board chair Dudu Myeni said on Friday SAA was financially sound and “had money”.
Earlier‚ Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan had said that SAA would not be granted any further government guarantees until a new board and management were appointed. SAA needs this guarantee to sign off on its financial statements for 2014-15.
