Around 190 cabin crew are on strike from Parat and Fellesforbundet this weekend. It affects air traffic. – I spoke to both parties this morning. There are no new meetings planned yet, but I hope that the parties will soon be ready to talk again. This is what national mediator Mats Ruland wrote in a text message to news. So far today, at least 40 departures have been canceled from Oslo. Tomorrow’s departures are also affected. Meet as normal if SAS does not notify you There is a long queue at the SAS service desk on Sunday afternoon. On Avinor’s website it is stated that travelers who do not receive direct notification from SAS that their journey has changed should meet as normal. Maren Aase was told to turn up today to fly to Alta, but has now been moved to a flight tomorrow. – One day late to Alta, it should go well. I’m in favor of the strike, but I don’t know how much it will affect me yet, she says. Terje Sandnes is also on his way north. He was going to Bodø. – I have full respect for those who strike and it is a coincidence that it hits me. I would have liked to go home, but that’s the way it is, he says to news. Want more than one weekend off a month Outside Oslo airport stand union leader of the Fellesforbundet Jørn Eggum and around thirty other strikers. They hand out brochures about the strike to travelers on their way into the airport. – We are striking because we have not agreed with SAS on completely fair demands, says Eggum to news. Demands from cabin crew are higher wages and better working conditions. They also want more than one weekend off a month. The union leader says it is not nice when the strike affects the travellers, but that the strike is necessary. He says he is happy that many people passing by are showing support. – We are not hoping for a long strike, but a new collective agreement, says Eggum. Demanding more in salary A cabin attendant in SAS has NOK 27,317 a month in basic salary at the lowest salary level, the head of the SAS Norway Cabin Association in Parat, Martinus Røkkum, tells news. – It is important to note that one stands still at each salary step for 2 years before promotion. This means that after 10 years in the company, you are only at stage 4, he says. He adds that the employees must work for 22 years before they are on the highest salary step, and that there is no supplement for evenings, nights or weekends. Stepping up the strike on Wednesday On Friday, Fellesforbundet announced that they will step up the strike from Wednesday 28 August. – From Wednesday morning it will come to a complete standstill, says federation leader Jørn Eggum in the Federal Federation to news. Parat will also step up the strike. They have taken 40 cabin crew on strike this weekend, and will take 47 more from Wednesday. Published 25/08/2024, at 17.23 Updated 25.08.2024, at 17.36
