Court's database server trips up urgent application by union

Gallo Images/Jacques Stander
NUMSA and SACCA want payment to their SAA members made within seven days, if their application is granted.
The two unions claim, government has continuously expressed a commitment to making such funding available.
The DPE did not anticipate the rescue process would drag on for so long and claim there simply is no extra money to pay more than 3-months of backpay.
An urgent application by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) and the SA Cabin Crew Association (SACCA) to the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Thursday to have a deal regarding backpay of members of South African Airways (SAA) declared unlawful or unfair, had to be postponed due to the court's database server being down.
