New meeting, no agreement

Iberia Express and USO have not reached an agreement in the new meeting this Friday after not advancing in the negotiations to unlock the signing of the II collective agreement for cabin crew (TCP), as reported by the union.

Thus, USO has criticized that the airline continues to be stubborn in “offering nothing” and does not understand the “inexplicable” attitude of the board, which “prefers to prolong the agony of a strike caused by greed and corporate pride and in which there are also economic losses”.
