The pilots of TAP decided Wednesday schedule a strike between 1 and 10 May. These 10-day stoppage coincide with the deadline set by the Government to sell 66% of the private company. The Spanish Globalia have given up.
The 500 pilots of TAP present on the floor of Civil Aviation Pilots’ Union (SPAC) scored a 10-day strike that will begin May 1 and end on 10th, that is, five days before the deadline the government has set for candidates to purchase 66% of the company submit their binding proposals.
This power manifestation of the riders can have the process the company’s privatization, the Government wants to complete before the summer. Yesterday, even before the decision of the pilots, Globalia announced its withdrawal, justifying with the inability to manage the company with “private criteria.”
In a lengthy statement divided into 30 points, the riders list the reasons why the convening of the strike. They consider that the TAP “grossly violates the Collective Agreement in force” and accused the government of “delete illegitimately pilots of the privatization process.”
“The Government intends to deliver to private interests the concessions that pilots made to TAP Group in good faith and that contributed to the enhancement of the company’s assets, “argues the union.
The drivers present in the plenary decided to mandate the direction of SPAC to mark a long strike, between the 1st and May 10th. The desconvocação the strike, they assert, will only be achieved, “at the exact time they are assured unequivocally” the agreements that pilots claim included in the agreements of June 10, 1999 and December 23, 2014, which, in its view, are to be realized.
The language used in the statement of SPAC leaves the impression that the space of approximation is small. However, criticism of the administration of TAP and the Government are hard. Among them is that the TAP and the Government “intended to increase the profits of investors and bonuses of managers at the sacrifice of its pilots” and that “seek to artificially enhance the TAP Group among potential investors, covering the exorbitant losses that their managers inflicted “.

In a message sent to workers, the leader of the company, Fernando Pinto, called the possibility of the pilots resort to strike as “an incomprehensible breach of commitments in December before the country.” Fernando Pinto accused SPAC of a “sudden change of attitude” and warned that the return “to an operating instability” would be “disastrous for the credibility of TAP and would have serious consequences.”
