Trade union Solidarity has threatened a strike action at local and regional airline, FlySafair over wages.

This following a move to rope in the CCMA to facilitate wage talks at the airline that have been ongoing for three months, leading to a deadlock.

Solidarity is the largest union at FlySafair with demands that include a three-year wage deal for increases of 10.5 in year one, while the airline is offering is for a 5.7 increase.

Solidaritys Deputy Secretary General, Helgard Cronje says their members are ready to down tools at FlySafair.

We are meeting with the CCMA and the employer this afternoon, basically in a final session to finalise picketing rules. Weve reached the deadlock based on a final offer we received from the employer, which our members voted on and basically unanimously rejected.
