Civil Aviation Resource Network July 15, 2022: According to Reuters, several foreign airlines are trying to reach negotiations with employee unions to try to solve the chaotic situation of air travel.
United Airlines
United and its pilots union are back at the negotiating table for a new contract after reaching a tentative deal last month.
The United chapter of the International Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) said the current agreement "did not meet" the expectations of some pilots. An interim agreement reached last month stipulated that pilots would receive a pay rise of more than 14% over the next 18 months, calculated from the beginning of the year. The two-year deal, which was previously approved by union leaders and sent to members for approval, is expected to be reached by the end of July.
Scandinavian Airlines
SAS and the pilots union failed again on Thursday (July 14) to agree on a deal to end the strike, which the airline said threatened its ability to secure bridge financing, without which it could be forced to scale back significantly Route scale or closure.
The SAS and the union were negotiating throughout Thursday to end the strike by most of its pilots. Negotiations will resume later on Friday. "There are a number of issues that are important to both parties that must be resolved in order for an agreement to be reached," mediator Mats Ruland told reporters.
The strike has so far caused 2,550 flight cancellations, affecting 270,000 passengers and costing it between $94 million and $123 million, SAS said. It warned that its limited cash reserves would be quickly depleted if the strike continued. "In the worst-case scenario, the company will consider the sale of inherent strategic assets while also radically reducing SAS' business and fleet," SAS said in a statement.
KLM
KLM and the union have reached a collective labor agreement after weeks of employee unrest, the airline announced in a press release on Thursday.
The agreement includes a two-step pay rise for ground staff, with a total pay rise of around 4%, with a monthly increase of at least 80 euros before tax in each phase, to ensure that the economic situation of low-income earners is strengthened.
"Inflation, declining purchasing power, high job pressure and a tight labor market are new conditions that KLM has to deal with," KLM said in a statement.
