Staff affiliated to the union National Union of Metalworkers of SA are expected to embark on a strike from 1pm on Thursday.
"Comair is continuing talks to try to find a mutually acceptable solution. However‚ in order to ensure a continuous operation for its customers over the busy Easter period‚ it has approached the Labour Court for an urgent interdict to prevent the strike‚" the company said.Executive director Wrenelle Stander said:"We will do everything possible to keep customers informed and minimise the impact of any strike action.
According to Comair‚ Numsa's dispute centres on 21 personnel‚ comprising 3% of its bargaining unit‚ whose salaries differ from those of their colleagues – in one instance‚ R7‚900 more. "These historic discrepancies arose from evolving airport operations‚ refinement of salary scales and retention initiatives as far back as 2009‚" the company said.
"Comair is unable to support Numsa’s demand to increase the salaries of the rest of the 683 employees in the bargaining unit to match the highest of the 21 'outlier' salaries‚" it said.
