The head of APLA aims to meet with the President to propose a course of work within Aerolíneas Argentinas with consensus of the aeronautical unions.
As the conflict between the Government and the aeronautical unions, the General Secretary of the Pilots Association (APLA), Pablo Biroaims all its chips to present “a superior proposal” to itself Javier Milei to “save” Argentine Airlines and seeks to negotiate only with the President.
The problem is that in the Government There is no single position regarding what to do with the flag airline. This means that the different criteria end up delaying decision-making. This Tuesday, concerned about the problems with the flag line, there was a meeting at the Pink House where the different officials who have this issue under analysis participated. There they were shuffled various alternatives and, one of them was decree the crisis prevention mechanism, prior to closure. Although some also leaned towards wait for the unions’ proposal.
Given this situation, as he was able to know Ámbito, Biró would have said that he “wants to speak directly with Milei to present a superior proposal to save the company “. These would be his terms to negotiate a plan with the libertarian administration. The truth is that Biró would only bring this initiative closer to Javier Milei. The only interlocutor with whom the unions are willing to negotiate is the president of the Nation. The doubt, in La Rosada, is whether Milei will agree to meet with Biró.
However, the Government did not give in to this proposal and official sources stressed that “the President does not negotiate with extortionists.” “On the contrary, in the face of the threat it accelerates even more,” say those close to him.
The owner of APLA, which has the support of unions, including those belonging to Intercharge, seeks to take advantage of the situation of indecision within the Government to impose his proposal on the future of the airline. In union sources they usually say “today the pilots don’t stop, the Intercharge” to explain that they have a coordinated combat strategy.
It is worth remembering that a threat of pilot strike and they They provisionally suspended the measure and “coincidentally this Wednesday the workers who assist in baggage clearance stopped.” That is to say, even if one of the unions is in negotiations and puts a cold shoulder to the conflict, the forceful measures continue on the other hand.
However, some sources in Casa Rosada suspect that Biró would not really have a concrete proposal to save the company, which is why this Wednesday they let the ultimatum to the unions go beyond: either they present the proposal or the crisis preventive process is activated. This tool is a legal mechanism by which a company, for reasons of force majeure or for a cause not attributable to the employer, can reduce hours, suspend or dismiss employees with reduced compensation. This legislation operates under the purview of the Ministry of Labor and is mandatory for a company to cease operations.
