The government has promised to create a new airline to compete in a world free of the pandemic.
JOHANNESBURG – SAA unions say they are now looking to chart a way forward with the airline after securing a victory in the Labor Court yesterday.
The court ruled that downsizing notices issued to national company workers by company rescue professionals are illegal and must be withdrawn.
The court found that the Section 189 notifications are procedurally unfair because the professionals did not develop a business plan.
Judge Andre van Niekerk says it would be unfair for corporate rescue professionals to start cutting their budget without exploring other avenues.
The order says that nothing prevents SAA employees from accepting a voluntary reduction package.
SAA is bankrupt and the government has refused to grant further bailouts to the embattled airline, saying its resources have been depleted due to covid19.
