According to information obtained by Lusa News Agency, TAP cabin crew staff refused the proposal to update salaries between 2018 and 2023 by 15.5 percent, which would also include a correction for inflation and the annual sharing of 1.5 percent of net profits from 2021 onwards. For 2018, the proposed increase was 6 percent.
Contacted by Lusa, SNPVAC and TAP declined to comment on the rejections of the proposals, although they confirmed a meeting between the two sides.
In April, salary updates for pilots forecast increases of 5 percent this year and next, of 3 percent in 2020 and 1 percent in 2021 and 2022, plus a correction for inflation estimated at 9.4 percent.
The agreement also includes a review of annuities, shift allowance, meal allowance and certification allowance over the next five years.
Earlier this month, the Union of Aviation Workers and Airports (SITAVA) reported it had concluded a wage update agreement with TAP for the next five years, which outlines an increase of 5 percent this year and at least 7 percent in the following four years.
TAP is 50 percent owned by the State, through Parpública, 45 percent by the Atlantic Gateway consortium and 5 percent by the workers.
