Labour Court clears SAA to restructure
The business rescue practitioners of South African Airways will be forging ahead with their plan to restructure the cash-strapped airline after the Labour Court in Johannesburg Friday dismissed an application by workers’ unions to halt job cuts earmarked in the rescue plan. Judge Graham Moshoana dismissed the application by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and the South African Cabin Crew Association to halt looming job cuts. Judge Moshoana said the unions’ bid against the SAA rescuers was dismissed because the cancellation of 11 domestic and international flights did not mean workers would be dismissed. He said the troubled carrier had not indicated the intention to start Section 189 consultations, meaning the unions had no reasonable grounds to anticipate retrenchments. <br/>
