Employees of Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) were informed on June 29 of a possible retrenchment process in terms of the Labour Relations Act, reports News 24.
ATNS operates, among others, at nine airports operated by Acsa. It is also one of the creditors of South African Airways.
In a letter to employees, ATNS ceo Dumisani Sangweni said, although retrenchments were being contemplated, ATNS had not taken any final decisions regarding such a step.
ATNS has opted for a CCMA-facilitated consultation process.
"The company will try everything possible to find alternative measures to mitigate the need to dismiss employees based on operational requirements," said Dumisani.
