Between 180 and 240 depending on who you believe. Either way its nearly double the norm (if you believe the upper end of the scale)

SAA plans to fire up to 20% of staff
- Thread starter Hanno Labuschagne
- Start date
So the ESKOM employees who arent actively seeking other employment who end up getting retrenched only have themselves to blame?

I wouldn’t say the blame lies with them.
But they really shouldn’t be surprised at all when it happens.

job losses are never nice.
Most of the people are usually just someone that went for an interview and got a job or a better one from where they were.
The ANC is so bad for this country, most of these people have no prospects of finding work soon.
Although I still think they should sell SAA and have someone else try and make a success of it, which will also include job losses .

What power supply ?
The one that made it possible to post this. The one that stops working whenever they want an increase.

SAA have a bloated and inefficient workforce.
Those people should never have been hired in the first place. The stealing and looting was a relatively new development in a long period of un-profitability and government bailouts

National carrier South African Airways has been hit with a strike notice.
What exactly is there to sell though?

Both management and staff are playing brinkmanship, and Scopa in Parliament is not amused:

Parliament: SAA censured as it pleads financial dire straits ahead of strike
When SAA told MPs it would not submit its audited financials until its going concern status was secure, the national airline was bluntly told it was flouting the law. With a strike set from Friday, the pressure is on SAA and its search for bailout billions.
www.dailymaverick.co.za
"Now Numsa and SACCA have promised the “mother of all strikes” from Friday as its 3,000 members representing staff from check-in counter staff to cabin crew and many employees in between and at SAA Technical down tools from 4am in support of an 8% wage settlement – and job security for the next three years. "

I'll try and keep it simple just for you then..
If you were a BEE cadre working for Eskom you have immunity against being fired.. i.e job security for life, laughing all the way to the bank kinda thing.
If you were a BEE cadre working for SAA your ass'll be fired since they wanna save some money & there's nothing you can do about it.
Boom! The cadres, she's not equal anymore. SAA cadres clearly are a class below Eskom cadres.
Geddit now?

Snooty conjecture. Try another way. Post something less juvenile.

They'll be doing SA tax payers a huge favour.
