By Nadia Samie

Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) employees will hear today if their demands over bonuses will be met.

The dispute, between the Civil Aviation Authority and the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu), comes after workers embarked on strike action, following a decision by the aviation authority to only pay bonuses in March 2007. The two parties met with a private arbitrator to discuss the matter on Monday.

The workers want at least 15 percent of their bonuses in lieu of full payment. Strike action has been discontinued pending the outcome of the private arbitrator’s decision today.
