agreement signed by three organizations
Dozens of cabin chiefs, stewards and hostesses have been on strike since Wednesday, according to the SNPNC-FO union (National Commercial, Minority Navigant Staff Union). The social movement must end Sunday evening. The union rejects a recently signed agreement by the three other trade union organizations affiliated with commercial navigious personnel (PNC), including the CGT, the only representative union.
This agreement provides for an “improvement in working conditions on tiring rotations and exceptional purchasing power measures,” said a spokesperson for the Air France-KLM subsidiary, who says he has about 1,400 PNC. The “Customer satisfaction” premium thus went from 500 to 1,000 euros annually, and the “transport” premium, as is the “purchasing power” premium, has been increased, which is equivalent to an “increase of approximately 5 % For low wages “, according to management. A discussion calendar has also been arrested, and meetings were scheduled to ensure “monitoring of so -called tiring rotations”, according to the company.
The SNPNC is demanding, for its part, a general and lasting increase in wages now, which the company refuses to negotiate before the beginning of 2023, because it says it is constrained by the loans guaranteed by the State (PGE ).
