Airline staff in Brazil conduct 2-hour strike days before Carnival
Two days before the start of Carnival in Brazil, the country’s main airports faced chaos as airline personnel went on strike Wednesday morning for 2 hours. The strike, conducted from 6AM to 8AM brought confusion to 12 of the country’s busiest airports in 9 state capitals. Data shows that at least 300 flights were delayed or cancelled during that time. The National Airline Crew Union (SNA) called the strike demanding an 11% increase in wages retroactive as of Dec 1st, 2015. According to the Union, the more than seventy thousand union members are “unsatisfied with the position of airline companies, which offer a disgraceful wage increase, which only brings losses to the sector”.
