This is news that will not delight travelers.
A strike notice was announced from December 22 to January 2, at Air France.
Something to disrupt the end of the year holidays.
The SNGAF and Unac, the two majority unions for flight attendants and flight attendants, once again called for a stoppage of work in mid-November, reports Le
Figaro
.
At issue: an agreement that sets the conditions of employment, which ended last October.
It was extended by a note from management.
“But this note, the management can modify it unilaterally overnight, which would mean changing our hours or our remuneration rules without consulting us” explains to our colleagues the secretary general of Unac.
A possible agreement
The management tried to reassure, without succeeding.
Other subjects could pose problems during the discussions, in particular concerning the stewards.
The latter refuse to take care of 50 passengers on long-haul flights, compared to 48 today.
However, the strike is avoidable in the event of an agreement between the unions and the management.
And if such a movement is launched, it may not be large, after the 5% increase granted as well as the bonus of 1,000 euros paid to each employee.
Domestic flights more affected
The strike could also spare long-haul passengers, who can more easily travel on other flights.
In addition, the company has personnel in reserve or can involve foreign carriers, thanks to its partnerships, specifies Le Figaro.
Only domestic flights could be really impacted.
Still, if it really takes place, the strike could surprise travelers because those who follow it will have to declare themselves at most 48 hours before.
