The company will file a complaint against Pablo Biró for APLA and Juan Pablo Brey for AAA. They also initiated actions to expel the head of the pilots’ union 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.
