JOHANNESBURG – A bid by two trade unions to block job cuts at South African Airways (SAA) was rejected by the labour court on Friday.
SAA is fighting for survival after being placed under a form of bankruptcy protection in December.
The unions argued that SAA’s administrators sought to accelerate job cuts outside of a 60-day mandatory consultation period.
