Why It Matters
The national contract for PosteAirCargo pilots has largely expired and the company has refused its renewal, applying unilateral criteria for career advancement despite the union's attempts at dialogue.
On Friday 16 October the pilots of the PosteAirCargo sector will fold their arms for an entire day of strike. Thus in a note from Uiltrasporti, which specifies that "the 24-hour mobilization became inevitable in the face of the company's absolute unavailability to renew a national contract that had already largely expired and in the face of the application of completely unilateral criteria for career advancement".
"We have reached this point - continued Uiltrasporti - after having experienced all possible attempts at dialogue. The corporate governance continues to ignore the legitimate requests of workers, refusing a contractual renewal that can no longer be postponed and penalizing the category with the introduction of arbitrary and non-shared logic for professional progression and qualification changes. We cannot accept that the careers of flight personnel are managed without any transparency and outside the rules of collective bargaining".
"We apologize for the inconvenience that this protest may cause to users and to the shipping and logistics service", he concluded.
