Comair, in a bid to allay travellers’ panic, responded that it had a comprehensive contingency plan in place to deal with any possible effects of the strike action. Despite several meetings, an agreement is yet to be reached. An attempt to reach consensus through the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration was unsuccessful.
A later statement released by the union in mid-January 2019 claimed that Comair’s wage gap between those who earn the most and those who earn the least, but are “in the same grade”, was about R7,000.The employer must bridge wage gaps of between R1,000 and R2,000 within a 12-month period; andNumsa said Comair management rejected the proposal and instead made a proposal that they would deny high earners wage increases until “other workers catch up”.
