Iberia Express cabin crew
join this summer's strikes by Ryanair and Easyjet.
The USO union has called the workers of the Madrid base to 10 strike days from August 28 to September 6 to demand that the negotiation of the collective agreement of these airline workers be unblocked.
From USO they denounce that the company
"has had no interest in improving the conditions of these workers"
since the negotiation began last December.
They ask, among other things, an annual review of the salary according to the CPI, since the crew members "have been frozen for seven years."
The strike affects 517 Iberia Express workers, which, USO denounces, "continues to oppose any union proposal and offer alternatives far from reality," according to a statement.
They also demand the consolidation of the salary increase of 6.5% corresponding to 2021 for all levels;
the creation of two salary levels with an 11% and 4% increase and a 24-month seniority bonus for all workers in the group.
The workers of this airline would thus join
the strikes of their colleagues at Ryanair and that of Easyjet pilots,
who in both cases also demand improvements in their working conditions.
In the case of the Irish company, the stoppages began in June, continued in a second round in July and have now started again in August.
They will be extended until the month of January every week from Monday to Thursday if no agreement is reached with Ryanair.
With this Wednesday, there are already three days of strikes this week.
So far there has been no cancellation of any flight but there have been 36 cancellations.
In the case of Easyjet, the pilots claim to recover the conditions they had before the pandemic broke out.
