Air France promised, Tuesday, December 20, to ensure “all of its flight program” Thursday, on the first day of a call for the strike of two hostess unions and stewards.

UNAC unions and SNGAF of the sales personnel sales staff filed for a strike from December 22 to January 2, against a background of social conflict around the collective hostesses and stewards agreement. The flight program for the following days will be known twenty-four hours in advance, according to the company.

Unac and SNGAF are calling for a “temporary contractual solution for replacing the collective agreement” of the sailing personnel in late October, while negotiations on a new collective agreement continue. The SNPNC-FO and the UNSA-PNC did not call the strike within the company, where professional elections must take place at the start of the year.

Social conflicts have also been defused at Air Antilles, Air Guyane, Corsair and Easyjet, but another strike notice remains, from December 22 to 25, within the company French Bee, where the SNPNC and the CGT denounce “multiple dysfunctions” in their working conditions and too low wages. Based in Orly, French Bee serves Reunion, French Polynesia and the Dominican Republic, but also destinations in the United States.
