Comair says Numsa strike ‘unlikely’

Comair said Numsa could only strike legally once the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) had failed to bring the parties closer. The aviation company said the CCMA could only hear them in January.

“Numsa had also put wage demands to Comair, however, does not have a certificate to strike on this issue at this time,” said Stander.

Numsa is demanding:

  • a 12% salary increase;
  • a 13th cheque;
  • travel allowances;
  • more shop stewards;
  • 15% of basic salary for shift allowances; and
  • a daily overtime allowance.

Comair operates and manages British Airways and Kulula Airlines in SA. It has 2,206 South African employees, with 373 belonging to Numsa.
