Unions and flag carrier South African Airways are still deadlocked as a national strike continues. "The unions are still sticking to their guns and we continue to urge unions to approach the situation with open minds," said SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali. He said that SAA cannot present anything other than its offer of a 5.9% wage increase. Unions have demanded an 8% increase, together with the insourcing of employees and a promise of no job losses. "We want to channel our energies and focus on getting labour to work with us to find a working solution," said Tlali. SAA, which is technically insolvent, has said it would apply a “no work no pay” principle to those who participate in the strike.
