This follows a strike over salaries at the airline’s headquarters in Kempton Park, Gauteng, on Monday.
SAA Technical was able to pay only 25% of salaries to all of its employees in September, and has withdrawn services to Mango and SAA until their unpaid debts are settled. File photo.Management and unions representing SAA Technical staff are in meeting to discuss the way forward.
SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali said unions requested permission to hold a general meeting with their members to discuss developments around September's salaries. Workers received only 25% of their salaries in September, as per communication to staff and unions, Tlali said. Tlali denied claims that managers paid themselves full salaries while employees received 25%. “This is definitely untrue. A common methodology in calculating the salaries pay shortfall was applied across all levels of employment, including management and the executives. This methodology was communicated to all unions, and confirmed in writing.”
