The Air France pilots on strike for thirteen days have proposed a protocol in which they would accept working conditions Transavia against obtaining a single employment contract.
The voltage is falling away from Air France. The main pilot union, SNPL, refused Friday the latest proposals of management and conditioning the judgment of the strike, which began on September 15, the appointment of a mediator. He accuses the CEO of the aerospace group, Alexander Juniac to block a proposed agreement. The pilots finally accept working conditions Transavia but only in exchange for a single employment contract, their main demand since the beginning of the strike. This alternative protocol that would meet the requirements of management, had “approved by all parties except Alexander Juniac” according to the SNPL. “If we asked for a mediator, it is to take responsibility and move forward,” said Saturday AFP William Schmid, spokesman for the union.
A request was immediately rejected by Matignon. “Mediations are useful when social dialogue does not take place in the case of Air France has taken place. For twelve days, trading was intense, advances have been made by management. Negotiation is now at an end. A solution to end the conflict on the table, drivers to be seized. There is no need to launch a new negotiation with a mediator. Everyone is now facing its responsibilities “, said the Prime Minister Manuel Valls. Confirmed by the management of aerospace group position, which held that there was no need to appoint a mediator after already “tens of hours of negotiations.”
Saturday morning, the union however, reiterated its request for mediation, arguing that his approach had been “misunderstood”. He hopes to submit the proposed protocol for the management of Air France an independent mediator agreed.
The previous protocol proposed by the management of Air France, did not meet the latest demands of pilots Air France. The “one pilot group” that guaranteed the status of Air France pilots Transavia was abandoned. “To ensure the competitiveness” of French low-cost, drivers will be employed under the conditions of Transavia France, proposed the Air France management. Two contracts for volunteer drivers coexist Air France pilots to work for Transavia France. This would allow them to continue their careers in the low-cost airline. Thus, there would be only one “seniority list” to give them more career opportunities.
If this agreement was signed in the state, the pilots would have gained nothing in this conflict. They have created controversy about “offshoring” and “social dumping” and obtained the withdrawal of a small project of European low-cost, but succeed on their only concern: the creation of a common pilot status Air France, Transavia and Hop! in the short and medium-haul. Facing them, the management would have managed to preserve the development of Transavia France, but minus its major European cousin, supposed to give it a critical mass in the highly competitive market of low-cost.
So that A spokesman for Air France said that the situation of the company became “extremely difficult,” the SNPL must decide that day whether to continue the movement. This Saturday, just over a two flights should be available with a slight improvement on Friday.
