No agreement before the midnight strike is in time

"No agreement before the midnight strike is in the time"

"the SAS-pilots said during the evening no to medlarnas commandments."

"the Deadline for when the strike breaks out was set at midnight and then suspended the talks for the night."

"– I'm on my way home to sleep. The parties are too far apart, " says the facilitator, Jan Sjölin."

"earlier in the evening, chose the SAS to set up the 205 departures until lunch on Friday."

"the Conflict between SAS and the pilots are still not resolved. The parties set the whole on Thursday, the confederation of Swedish enterprise's premises in central Stockholm to try to reach agreement."

"the Deadline for the strike, which covers 1 500 pilots, were exposed to the midnight. Then was suspended the negotiations, said Jan Sjölin, one of the three designated mediators from the national mediation office:"

"– a Few minutes after midnight, we stopped. The strike in Sweden is up and running. I've just put me in the car to go home and sleep. Our assessment is that the parties are just too far from each other. Things need to change in order that further negotiations are to be meaningful, he says to Aftonbladet."

"The parallel negotiations in Norway, which also affects the Swedish, continue on overtime after midnight, said the NTB according to PLEASE"

"at the same time, the corresponding negotiations in Denmark. Would an agreement be reached in one of the neighbouring countries affects the the the Swedish parties."

"Neither the tray or the employer has come up with new comments after midnight. According to the task to Aftonbladet, la mediators no new bids during the last hours towards midnight, but the negotiations continued to sort out where the parties stand."

"We send out a press release within an hour,” wrote Rebecca Rosenvinge, kommunikationskoordinator at the Swedish pilotförening, in a text message to Aftonbladet at 00.15."

"the Pilots said no to the bid"

"the Mediators had earlier in the day submitted a bid in which the parties would reply at 21. The bid included annual wage increases of 2.3% and a better opportunity for the pilots to work according to a predictable schedule. The bid for 2.3 per cent of the low on the so-called brand, then the contractual wage increases that apply in the Swedish labour market in 2019, according Arbetsmarknadsnytt."

"But the pilots chose to say no and still demanding a 13% wage increases, according to the newspaper."

"– To medlarnas bid is in line with the mark is a clear sign that the pilots should take to their senses and take some responsibility for this process, " says Torbjörn Granevärn, it's head of negotiations for the airline industry on the Carriers and the representative of the employer, SAS, to Arbetsmarknadsnytt."

"170 000 passengers are affected"

"According to SAS affected around 70 per cent of the company's flights during a strike, the remainder is carried out by the partners. Around 70 000 travellers affected during the Friday and a further 100 000 during the weekend, according to SAS. Already at the evening the company announced that 205 flights cancelled on Friday."

"– this activity requires advance planning. These flights are set regardless. It applies to all SAS flights to Scandinavia from midnight and until 12.00 noon on Friday, says Karin Nyman, kommunikationsdirekt on the SAS."

"On his website refers to the SAS to this link where you will be able to see which flights are unaffected by a possible strike. There is also another link where should be able to search for the current status of his flight."

" We have no list of all the 205 flight. It is these links we can refer to. The flight, which after all is also such which are carried out by our partners and subcontractors. It is about 30 per cent of our flights. Few of them, however, is set on the basis that we don't get off the staff. We are referring all travelers to check the status of their flight on our website before they go to the airport, " says Karin Nyman."

"She says that the SAS is now doing everything to try to book the affected passengers."

"– We do what we can. Those who have left contact details to receive sms if their flight is cancelled. Break the strike, there will be extreme pressure on our customer service and difficult to get. We recommend that you apply for us via Facebook or check the links on the website."

"Pilotfackets president Rawaz Nermany said earlier on Thursday to DN that he did not think that their wage demands are extreme, but a ”market correction”:"

"– It was a medlarbud not responded to a single one of our motions. It borders on the frivolous. Not a single one of the wishes or requirements we had were met, so we rejected the bid."

"SAS says on its website that passengers who are worried about being affected by a strike can book their trips for free, even if the flight has not yet been affected or cancelled. For flights with the SAS, not with the partners and under the following conditions:

"• the Flight is not set."

"• the departure date for your flight is between 26 to 29 april 2019."

"• Your ticket number starts with 117."

"• Your ticket is issued on april 24, 2019 or earlier"

"• Your original SAS-ticket has been booked through the SAS website, the SAS app or the SAS Call Center."

"Those who booked through a travel agent asked to get in touch with a travel agent directly."
