In an assembly held this Thursday (15), pilots and flight attendants decided to approve the strike beginning on December 19, 2022, from 6:8 am to XNUMX:XNUMX am, at the airports of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Campinas, Porto Alegre, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza, for an indefinite period, due to the frustration of negotiations for the renewal of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Out of respect for society and s of the air transport system, the aeronauts will only stop for two hours, so all takeoffs will start after 8 am. However, all flights with organs for transplantation, patients on board, and vaccines will not be paralyzed.
Aeronauts claim recovery of inflationary losses, in addition to real gain, in view of the high prices of airline tickets that have generated increasing profits for companies. They also claim improvements in working conditions for the renewal of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, such as the definition of the start times of days off and the prohibition of changes in them, in addition to compliance with the existing limits of time on the ground between flight stages.
Since the beginning of negotiations, companies have not been willing to meet the demands of the category.
The first proposal by Snea (National Union of Airline Companies), rejected with almost 90% of the votes, linked the salary adjustment by the INPC to the agenda of employer interest, such as the voluntary sale of days off and the use of days intended for distance learning to flight schedule.
In the second proposal, also rejected by the aeronauts, the companies it to granting the readjustment by the INPC in all economic items, except international daily rates, in addition to ensuring the hotel service when, in the execution of a stopover, the time limits on the ground are exceeded. They also specified rules for anticipating the Free and proposed the use of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays for the start of vacation enjoyment. However, the crew understood that this proposal does not meet expectations and has little to do with the category's agenda.
It is important to highlight that the companies themselves point out in their reports to the market, as well as in news published in the press, that the airline sector has been recovering rapidly, with profits greater than those of the pre-pandemic period. In addition, the demand for airline tickets has increased and the prices imposed on engers have risen dramatically.
However, companies remain intransigent, refusing to grant more dignified remuneration to the crew, in addition to proposing that pilots and flight attendants work longer hours.
Pilots and flight attendants in Brazil rely on the understanding of society and the common sense of airlines to avoid inconvenience.
If in doubt, the SNA.
