FlySafair pilots in South Africa, represented by the Solidarity trade union, are poised to strike following a deadlock in salary negotiations. The airline's final offer of a 5.7% salary increase with additional compensation adjustments was overwhelmingly rejected by the majority of Solidarity members after three months of talks. More than half of the pilots at FlySafair, the country's largest airline, are preparing for industrial action as a result. Separately, healthcare assistants have commenced a two-day strike over pay disputes, and aerospace workers are planning a strike concerning sick pay.
