Air Chefs strike suspended following Labour Court interdict
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) confirmed that the Labour Court granted an interim interdict to Air Chefs on Monday.
This follows a planned strike by Numsa members at SAA, SA Express, SA Airlink, Mango and Swiss Airlines over withdrawal of bonuses.
The union’s spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi-Majola says the industrial action has been suspended.

“NUMSA can confirm that the labour court has granted an interim interdict to Air Chef. This means we cannot embark on a strike as it will not be legally protected.
The union is set to appear in Labour Court on November 27 to defend why the interdict should not remain permanent.
