Cabin crew union SNPVAC, representing some 3,000 staff, known as for the strike to demand higher working situations after a brand new contract proposal was rejected. In response to the union, the most recent proposal didn’t clear up the excessive workload, employees shortages, inadequate breaks between flights and low wages.
One other commerce union assembly is held two days earlier than the strike. The protest begins on a public vacation in Portugal. TAP thinks that the strike will trigger a minimum of 8 million euros in revenue to be misplaced. The Portuguese authorities beforehand assisted TAP with an emergency bundle of greater than 2.5 billion euros. The corporate recorded a lack of 91 million euros within the first 9 months of the yr.
Portugal can be on the lookout for a brand new shareholder for TAP. Air France-KLM has already indicated that it’s concerned with a partnership or acquisition “if the circumstances are proper”.
