Numsa conceded defeat after its strike at Comair was interdicted, but said that the war was not over.
Johannesburg - The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa on Thursday conceded defeat after its strike at Comair was interdicted, but said that the war was not over.
The dispute between the workers union and the airline relates to salary anomalies for at least 21 employees hired prior to 2009 who are being paid higher than the agreed salary scale. Numsa represents just over 50 percent of Comair's 700 airport ground staff out of a total staff complement of 2 200. "We are saying to management we repeat the call that they need to engage with us meaningfully on how we resolve this problem they created. They are the ones who went and paid workers unjustifiable higher incomes which created a situation where 23 workers now are earning much higher wages than they should be earning according to the salary scale."
