Workers at South African Airways (SAA) are not happy. 

They’ve started a strike demanding higher wages and better job security.

It’s caused the state-owned airline to cancel all its flights.

The strike comes at a time when SAA is without a permanent CEO.

The carrier also hasn’t turned a profit since 2011.
