He Secretary of Transportation of the Nation, Franco Mogetta, confirmed that the Government will implement sanctions against all workers who adhere to the aeronautical strike. The strike will be carried out by the Association of Airline Pilots (APLA) and the Argentine Association of Flight Attendants (AAA).
“Those who do not comply with their duties based on the new regulations, those who fail to comply, will be sanctioned. The scale ranges from salary deduction to dismissal“, Mogetta said on the radio. The strike will last 24 hours and will affect more than 37,000 passengers.
The Government’s position on the aeronautical strike
In the next few hours, a new strike by aeronautical workers will be carried out by the APLA and AAA unions. In light of this, the national government announced that those workers who join may suffer sanctions: “Those who do not comply with their tasks based on the new regulations, Those who do not comply will be sanctioned“, Mogetta said.
The sanction comes after the libertarian administration moved forward with the regulation of DNU 70/23, which it declared as “essential service” to aeronautical activity. In this way, the official detailed that the sanctions could go “from salary deduction to dismissal“.
Aeronautical unions join Monday’s strike: 70,000 passengers expected to be affected
Aerolíneas Argentinas has enabled the change of tickets free of charge for affected passengers.
Along these lines, Mogetta also questioned the “few hours of flight“Some pilots have this problem. “We are proposing from the start to discuss productivity. Some do not even fly 40 hours a month when other airlines are at 90 hours a month. When they compare their salaries with other airlines it has to do with that.“, he said.
Finally, prior to the strike that will begin at 12 noon, the Secretary of Transportation of the Nation stressed that they will seek the “Biró’s exclusion from the board of directors” of Argentine Airlines“We are going to claim from the union the losses generated by the last assemblies, in the order of 2 million dollars,” he concluded.
The 24-hour strike by the aeronautical sector will affect 37,000 passengers
The strike, so far, will only be carried out by the Association of Airline Pilots (APLA) and the Argentine Association of Flight Attendants (AAA). Thus, only the services of the flag carrier will be complicated, and it is expected that all flights between the 12 on Friday and 12 on Saturday are cancelled.
For now, the Aeronautical Personnel Association (APA), which includes Intercargo workers, will not adhere to the measure, which would mean that ramp services at both Aeroparque and Ezeiza will not be affected. Despite this, the union did not specify what attitude it will take and airport sources speculate about the possibility of carrying out the so-called “information meetings“within the hours in which the strike of the other two unions is taking place.
