Norwegian’s Paris cabin crews threaten strikes this week

Airlines operating in France are gearing up for strike-related disruption as Norwegian Air Shuttle cabin crews plan to down tools from April 24 over pay and working conditions and the powerful French union the SNPL threatens a week-long walkout in May. Norwegian is facing possible disruption as cabin crew at its Paris Charles de Gaulle base plan to go on strike April 24, 25 and 26, a spokesperson for the airline said. “We always take a constructive approach and negotiate in good faith, but it’s still too early to say whether any flights will be disrupted.” Separately, the SNPL pilots’ union is calling for members to go on strike from May 6 to May 11, French media reported, saying that the union sent a strike notice to govt to protest a draft law due to be debated in May that they believe would give pilots less representation. <br/>
