The negotiations between Argentine Airlines and the aeronautical unions have made significant progress in recent weeks, and everything indicates that they are close to reaching a salary and labor agreement. This process has been complex and has involved multiple rounds of dialogue between the state airline authorities and worker representatives.
The negotiations between Argentine Airlines and the unions began in a context of high tension. The state-owned company has faced significant financial challenges, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic and the global economic crisis.
These factors have led to the need to review collective bargaining agreements and adjust salaries to ensure the viability of the airline. On the other hand, unions have been pushing for pay and job improvements for their members, arguing that workers have made considerable sacrifices during the pandemic and deserve fair compensation.
The negotiations have been marked by walkouts and threats of strikes, which have added pressure on both sides to reach an agreement. One of the most important points in the negotiations has been the salary adjustment.
Unions have called for a significant increase to compensate for inflation and workers’ loss of purchasing power. Argentine Airlinesfor its part, has proposed a staggered increase, arguing that an immediate and substantial increase could put the company’s financial stability at risk.
Another crucial point has been the review of labor benefits. Among the proposals discussed is the elimination of business class tickets for pilots and their families, as well as the restructuring of the transportation service for personnel.
Changes
These measures seek to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency of Argentinas Airline. In addition, changes to collective bargaining agreements have been discussed. These changes include the modification of duty and rest hours, as well as the implementation of new occupational health and safety policies.
Unions have expressed concern about the impact of these changes on working conditions, but have shown a willingness to negotiate to find a balance that benefits both parties.
