Easyjet Portugal cabin crew begin 5-day strike

Cabin crew at Easyjet Portugal recently announced plans to go on a five-day strike, due to continuing disagreements with the low-cost airline’s management. This decision follows long and fruitless negotiations between the union representing the employees and the management of Easyjet.

The strike, which will begin on Monday November 15, is scheduled to last five consecutive days, which will have a significant impact on the activities of Easyjet Portugal. Indeed, these five days coincide with a period of high tourist influx, due to the previous long weekend.

The main demands of cabin crew relate to better working conditions, higher wages and improved flight schedules. The strikers say their jobs are increasingly precarious, with unpredictable work schedules and long flying hours without sufficient breaks. They are also asking for greater recognition of their crucial role in the aviation industry.

Easyjet tried to play down the effects of the strike by announcing that it would bring in cabin crew from other countries to operate the flights. However, this may cause delays and disruption for passengers.

This is not the first time that Easyjet Portugal has faced a strike by its employees. Cabin crew unions have staged work stoppages several times in recent years to pressure the low-cost airline’s management. These strikes have sometimes resulted in flight cancellations and inconvenience for passengers.

It remains to be seen whether this five-day strike will have a significant impact on the negotiations between the employees and the management of Easyjet Portugal. The consequences could be significant, both for the airline and for the passengers. Travelers are advised to check the status of their flights before arriving at the airport and to keep themselves informed of developments regarding the Easyjet Portugal cabin crew strike.
