The DPE slammed Numsa, Sacca and Saapa, saying their actions amounted to ‘align[ing] themselves with a competitor who stands to benefit substantially should SAA be liquidated’.
However, the National Metalworkers Union of South Africa , the South African Cabin Crew Association and South African Airways Pilots’ Association have not signed or indictaed they will sign. Together, theses three unions form the majority of union representation at the embattled airline. “It is important to recognise that the creditors would be keeping a watchful eye on how much money was being spent by SAA as opposed to what they were trying to recover in the business rescue process.”
The DPE echoed this, slamming unions Numsa, Sacca and Saapa’s decision to back a motion by SA Airlink to postpone the creditors’ vote. The unions had argued an adjournment was necessary to propose a better plan and to discuss funding with government.
