SNPVAC will advance with prior notice of a strike at work
at TAP for seven days, between January 25 and 31.
“We respect and regret the SNPVAC decision and continue to
do everything possible to reach an agreement that serves the best interests of
the country, our customers, cabin crew, and TAP”, said an official source of the
air carrier.
According to the union's note, "in compliance with the
decision taken at the emergency general meeting on December 6, point 2",
which defined the "scheduling of a minimum of five days of strike to be
carried out until January 31 on defined dates by the management and
communicated to the associates 24 hours before the entry of the notice of
strike", the president of the board of the general assembly (AG) of the
union structure said that "he was informed by the direction of the SNPVAC
that a notice will be entered of 7 (seven) days of strike, corresponding to the
25th to the 31st of January, inclusive".
"I appeal, from now on, for everyone's adherence so
that, once again, we can give a full note to the company https://www.flytap.com/pt-pt/ of our union around
the dissatisfaction regarding the matters addressed and deliberated at the GA
on November 3, which constitute our legitimate claims", indicates the same
statement.
The SNPVAC general meeting rejected TAP's proposal on
December 29, maintaining its intention to hold a five-day strike until January
31, a union source told Lusa at the time.
It should be recalled that this union carried out a strike by TAP crew members on the 8th and 9th of December, which led the airline to cancel 360 flights and had an estimated total impact of eight million euros.
