Trade union Uasa on Wednesday said it had concluded a three-year agreement with Comair, bringing an end to a strike by 400 ground staff members.

The deal, which had been reached following the intervention of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration, included a 10% salary increase for this year, backdated to January 1.

Ground staff would also receive a 7% salary increase in 2017 and a 6% increase in 2018.

The striking ground staff members would be back at work on Thursday.
