Strike threat on SAS Nordic routes
A strike on some of SAS’s Nordic services has been threatened from Feb 22, following a breakdown of negotiations between pilots, cabin crew and the company that hires them. The services, although operated in SAS colours, are operated by Flybe, which won the contract to serve several Nordic destinations in 2015 under a “white label” arrangement. The pilots and cabin crew on the aircraft are not directly employed by Flybe but via a recruitment agency, Global Employer Company (GEC). Swedish pilots’ union SPF and cab crew representative body Unionen say they have been trying to reach a collective labour agreement with GEC since last autumn, without success. SAS said Feb 18 it expected personnel hired by partner companies such as SAS to have a collective labour agreement. <br/>
