Once again, Iberia and SELPA are at it like cat and mouse, this time with ground staff and cabin crew joining in too
The pilots are walking out over the creation of Iberia Express on the following dates:
- 25th January 2012
- 27th January 2012
- 30th January 2012
Meanwhile the ground workers have voted for action to support demands for the extension of their job guarantee clause. The strike dates are set for every Friday and Monday from 3rd February 2012.
Meanwhile, Iberia crew are set to announce their intentions on the 20th January. Exact dates to come on that front.
Iberia management is reluctant to grant the job security offer to all workers with the economic outlook being gloomy, but stat
“Management is not per se against the extension of the job guarantees but feels this should be linked to a renegotiation of all elements in the collective bargaining agreement, including salary, work practices and productivity.”
This action has legs on it sadly. I’d expect a lot of disruptions along the line, as well as another wave of cancellations.
