Numerous flights of the French airline Air France fall out today. Probably could only 48 percent of the flights take place, the company said. Reason is that about 60 percent of the pilots put down their work week to start.
The pilots’ union SNPL announced on Sunday night that negotiations with the company management had been terminated unsuccessfully. She called from a week-long strike. Air France advised the passengers to their flights between the 15 and 22 September change the booking or to cancel.
background of the labor dispute are the company’s short and medium-haul flights plans will increasingly over the low-cost airline Transavia handle. The union fears the outsourcing of jobs and worse working conditions.
The CEO of Air France-KLM, Alexandre de Juniac, told the station TF1, the negotiations were not completed. There will be further rounds of negotiations. “We have many things suggested,” de Juniac.
A seven-day strike would be the longest work stoppage in the history of Air France. Corporate Chef Frédéric Gagey estimated the daily losses due to the strike on 10 to 15 million euros. Union leader Barber warned that the situation could worsen on Tuesday and Wednesday, as the pilots who were on Monday in use, would have to insert their breaks.
Even with Lufthansa put pilots in the past few weeks three times the work from. Reason is a dispute over arrangements for transitional care. As long as the dispute is not resolved, the union threatens cockpit with new actions.
