SACCA back in court over SAA strike
The South African Cabin Crew Association (SACCA) will be returning to the labour court this morning in an attempt to overturn an interdict granted to South African Airways (SAA) last week, compelling them to return to work.
SACCA members embarked on a strike outside the SAA offices, over an international meal allowance, which they say has not been increased in six years.
SACCA Secretary General Mpho Moikangoa says last week's strike action followed all protocol and was not illegal.
"We see this as a tactic by the company to use the interdict against us. The judge also used it against us by not allowing us to give our side of the story", says Moikangoa.
SACCA has also requested a meeting with SAA chairperson Dudu Myeni.
"We would like for the chairperson to meet with us so she may account over what is happening', added Moikangoa.
