The National Union of Civil Aviation Employees said that in recent months it had “alerted the company to the need for a more equitable distribution of stops”, reporting several “emails” had been sent on the subject since October last year.
The National Union of Civil Aviation Workers (SNPVAC) today warned of the potential for “major disruption” in the peak season, due to “weak organization” of workers' shifts, it said in a statement.
In the memo released Tuesday, SNPVAC said it had alerted the company in recent months to the need for a more equitable distribution of stops, reporting several “emails” had been sent on the subject since October last year.
The union warned of problems already evident in the May shifts, with “consecutive 11- or 12-hour days, and above all, in crowded airports,” adding that “the company applies a transversal operational plan for the network, forgetting the specificities.” For every airport or country.”
“With no tools to force the company to manage the process better, or use common sense, the warning issued several times internally appears to have had no effect,” he lamented.
“At this point, as the airline is already facing disruption to the start of the IATA summer season, with numerous cancellations in the first week of April,” SNPVAC said, “if there are no new employees, promotions to cabin managers will take place, or “the “Relax this planning” and predicts “significant disruption in the high summer season, and the operation may be jeopardized.”
He explained that “these cancellations are due to the company’s weak organization, which actually occurred in 2019 and 2022,” stressing that “the company cannot after that mention maternity leave, flexible working hours, summer events, or even vacations related to illness.” “Workers, to justify something that was decided several months ago.”
