Pilot strikes at the Scandinavian airline SAS could still occur in June 2022. After the recent negotiations broke down, the SPF union informed management and the authorities about the relevant plans.
According to a statement by the employee representatives, strikes are to take place in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from June 29, 2022. If no agreement can be reached beforehand, significant restrictions in air traffic can be expected. The airline SAS is considered to be financially badly hit.
Talks between the employer and the pilot representatives have been going on since November 2021. On Thursday, the pilots' union announced that these had failed and that members were now being called on to go on strike. Among other things, it is about the fact that during the pandemic about half of the pilots with a promise of reinstatement were made redundant. However, only a few pilots were actually employed again.
Furthermore, the existing collective agreements expired on March 31, 2022. New contracts were not concluded. The SAS leadership had rejected the union's proposals, so that a work stoppage is now being called for. It is expected that around 900 pilots could participate. The SAS pilots last went on strike for around a week in 2019.
