Iberia Flight Strikes Called Off
January 24th, 2012
The main trade unions of the 16,000 Iberia ground staff, the CCOO and UGT, along with the TCP, the union of the 4,000 cabin crew, on Friday reached an agreement with the heads of Iberia to extend the guarantees of employment for both groups until 2014, with automatic extension until 2015.
This agreement has resulted in the immediate suspension of the schedule of strikes planned to start on 3rd February and which were set to continue indefinitely every Monday and Friday.
The agreement satisfies the demands of these company employees in connection with Iberia Express (the proposed new low cost airline for short and medium haul flights). The cancellation of these strikes is definite for the ground staff but has still to be validated by the unions representing the cabin crew, the CTA, Stavla and Sitcpla, at a meeting they have scheduled for this week.
Cinco Dias reported that the management of Iberia said in a statement that the employment guarantee agreement signed in April 2010 for the ground staff, will be extended until 31st December, 2014, with the possibility of it being extended for another year, until 31st December, 2015.
