The workers of Intercargo They carried out this Tuesday afternoon, and in a surprising manner, information meetings at the airports of Ezeiza, Mendoza and Cordovaas well as in Aeroparkwhere they started. The The measure did not affect Aerolíneas Argentinas because the company has its own ramp service.
The Association of Aeronautical Personnel (APA) represents the employees of Intercargo, which in turn deals with the logistics of various airlines. Since 6 pm, they began with these measures at Aeroparque that affected the flights that had been scheduled Flybondi, Goal, Jetsmart and Latam. In the case of Ezeizathey started at 8pm, and both in Cordova as Mendoza from 23 to 1.
Flights are affected because during the assemblies there is no loading or unloading of luggage, nor assistance to the planes for their departures. There will be assistance during landings, but passengers cannot remove their belongings that are stored in the cargo hold.
It should be noted that both the workers of APTA (Association of Aeronautical Technical Personnel) such as those of UPSA (Union of Senior and Professional Personnel of Aerocommercial Companies), held the signing of wage agreements with Aerolíneas Argentinas, leaving the company out of this measure.
Aerolíneas Argentinas will sue the pilots and crew unions and will initiate actions to expel Biró from the board of directors
Aerolíneas Argentinas announced that it will sue the APLA (pilots) and AAA (crew) unions for the damages caused by the information meetings that were covert strikes and caused losses of more than US$2 million. The company also announced that it will file a complaint Pablo Biró for APLA and Juan Pablo Brey for AAA as the main persons responsible for these measures.
“Biró’s case also implies a greater responsibility for being part of the Board of Directors of Aerolíneas Argentinas,” The company warns in a statement. “Due to his public statements and his direct actions against the interests of the company, Biró acted unfairly against the company itself and is liable “unlimitedly and jointly for any damages resulting from his action or omission,” according to article 59 of the General Law of Companies,” it adds.
In this regard, at the request of the Ministry of Transportationthe company’s main shareholder, the necessary actions will be taken to begin the process of expelling the union member from the Board of Directors.
“The recent strikes carried out by the APLA (pilots) and AAA (crew) unions, originally called “informative assemblies” to hide their abusive and illegal nature, have already caused Aerolíneas Argentinas losses of more than 2 million dollars,” the company emphasizes in another section. Therefore, they will move forward with a lawsuit against the unions involved for the damages caused, mainly by the loss of profits from the operation and claims from affected passengers.
The company has already given more than 400 discounts to pilots, co-pilots and crew members for failing to perform their duties and affecting flight schedules. The discounts average $150,000 per day for pilots, and $50,000 per day for crew members.
“Aerolíneas Argentinas will do everything possible to avoid further complications in the travel itineraries of our passengers, and we will continue to denounce any type of union measure that is deliberately designed to harm them,” the statement concludes.
