The Spanish Union of Airline Pilots (Sepla) has announced the call for eight new strike days at Air Europa for May 22, 23, 25, 26, 29 and 30 and June 1 and 2 at all bases and work centers in Spain.
Sepla reiterates that this measure responds to the company’s zero interest in resolving the labor conflict generated “by not addressing the legitimate labor and salary demands of the workers after the call for a four-day strike in the first week of May”, which had place on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th of this month.
The union has indicated in a statement that, in the event that Air Europa’s senior management continues with its lack of willingness to dialogue, new strike days will continue to be called during the summer.
Sepla “regrets having to take these measures”, but affirms that it is “the only way out that the company has forced them to defend a fair professional future for the pilots”, who are in the process of negotiating the V Collective Agreement .
Likewise, Sepla has reported that the National Court has admitted for processing the appeal filed by the union against the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda for the application of minimum services in relation to last week’s strike.
For the union, this admission confirms the complaint against the ministry headed by Raquel Sánchez for preventing the pilots’ constitutional right to strike and thus protecting the interests of Air Europa executives.
In this sense, the union highlights that it is “abusive” to have protected as minimum services more than 90% of the airline’s flights in the previous days of the strike.
