Japan Airlines Summer bonus reduction to half the level of the usual year June 2 19:25
Japan Airlines, a major aviation company, has decided to reduce the bonus paid to employees to half the usual level this summer because the business environment is rapidly deteriorating due to the spread of the new coronavirus, and proposes to the labor union Did.
The number of users of Japan Airlines has decreased dramatically due to the restrictions on entry into countries around the world and the refraining from moving within Japan due to the spread of infections. Currently, 90% of international flights and 70% of domestic flights are suspended or have reduced flights.
This year, the settlement of accounts for the three months up to March fell to the final deficit of 22.9 billion yen, and the management decided to reduce the bonus paid to employees this summer and proposed it to the labor union.
At Japan Airlines, two months' monthly wages are paid as a bonus each year, but if agreed with the union side, it will be reduced to one half of the average year.
JAL plans to reduce bonuses in the same way for its group companies in the future, and the one-month payment will be available only in 2011, the year after the company's bankruptcy.
In the aviation industry, ANA Holdings is also negotiating with unions to cut the summer lump sum payment by half, and the worsening performance due to the spread of infections is affecting wages.
