Union seeks payment guarantee
 
THE president of the Namibia Cabin Crew Union, Reginald Kock stated that currently as it stands government might back out of its 12-month ex-gratia salary payment promised to Air Namibia employees.
 
Speaking to Informanté, Kock gave his reaction to the recent liquidation of the national airline and explained that an ex gratia payment is made out of an employer’s own discretion and is not obligated by law.
 
“How will this payment be guaranteed? The government might payout for a few months, the Cabinet would be reshuffled and the newly appointed authorities could disagree, we are looking at ways of guaranteeing these payments. We are happy, it’s a very generous offer, however, it needs to be guaranteed,” Kock stated.
