Strejkvarsel hos Finnair (strejken nu avblåst)

Jag hoppas verkligen inte strejken bryter ut då vi ska flyga med dem till Bangkok den 21:a. Har hållit koll på ärendet i några dagar nu men har svårt att få någon vettig information om vilken riktning det lutar...



Någon här som har erfarenheter av inställda fighter och eventuella ombokningar vid strejk?
 
Senaste infon från Finnairs pressavdelning:



The Finnish Flight Attendants' Association (SLSY) and The Finnish Aviation Union (IAU) issued a warning of industrial action to the Association of Support Service Industries (PALTA) on November 1, 2013. The planned industrial action would take place during the period November 15 to November 23. The strikes scheduled for alternate days would paralyze Finnair’s traffic almost completely.



Negotiations are still ongoing and Finnair is hoping to reach an agreement and avoid the strike. However, Finnair already now has to cancel many flights to avoid congestion at Helsinki Airport in the event of a strike.



SLSY and IAU have also issued an additional warning of industrial action for the period of November 27 to November 30. Finnair is currently analyzing the situation regarding these days.



In case of a cancelled flight, customers should not arrive at the airport but act according to instructions given on the Finnair website, where we are constantly updating flight information.
 
Rätt många flyg som går i helgen om det blir strejk enligt denna sida: Flights during strike - Finnair



Får se hur det blir om strejken fortsätter in i nästa vecka. Tydligen kommer förbunden strejka växelvis. IAU's tider verkar vara enligt nedan och jag antar att SLSY fyller i luckorna?

Finnair avoids strikes *– traffic returns to normal within a few days



Finnair Plc. Stock Exchange Release 15 November 2013 at 10.45 a.m. EET



Finnair’s employer association PALTA (the Association of Support Service Industries) and SLSY (The Finnish Flight Attendants' Association ) and IAU (The Finnish Aviation Union) have concluded a new collective labour agreement and also agreed on the schedule and process of separate, company-specific negotiations related to Finnair’s cost savings. The foreseen strikes are therefore cancelled and Finnair’s traffic will return to normal within a few days.



The negotiation parties reached an agreement in line with the Finnish Employment and Growth Pact. Finnair and SLSY will negotiate on reaching the savings necessary for Finnair during the period from November 25, 2013 to April 28, 2014.If savings targets are met, cabin personnel will be protected from layoffs for two years. Finnair and IAU have already made much progress in reaching accompany-specific labour agreement for technical staff, and they will continue these negotiations. In addition Finnair and IAU continue company-specific negotiations on labour agreements for ground handling personnel.



"Avoiding the strikes in the final stages of negotiations is excellent news for our customers, although it is very unfortunate that the strike threats and the flight cancellations caused by the threats have caused uncertainty and harm to our passengers," says Finnair’s CEO Pekka Vauramo. "It is good that we at Finnair, together with labour unions, are now proceeding with negotiations on the cost savings that are so important for our airline’s future. In our industry, employment and growth require clear improvements in productivity and I want to thank SLSY and IAU for committing to this target."



“Our cost savings and productivity targets for personnel are unchanged, but we can reach them through multiple means that are acceptable to all," Vauramo underlines. "Finnair deserves a chance to grow and survive in the tight international competition, and reaching an agreement on the savings negotiation process was a critical step forward. We now need to advance rapidly with this work if we are to continue offering good flight connections from Finland for Finns and for Finnish business, and to continue offering our European and Asian customers a high-quality product and competitive long-haul flights.”



Finnair targets permanent total savings of 200 million euros compared to its 2010 cost level. The sum includes the additional cost savings program of the 60 million euros announced in October 2012, which consists mainly of staff related costs. Finnair’s target is to reach the savings by the end of 2014.

Jag som blev glad när jag hörde att strejken blev avblåst. Ska till Japan nästa söndag och tänkte åka Finnair för att spara restid och fixa AAdvantage platinum. Men nu blir det väl så absurt att strejken hos Lufthansa-bolaget LSG gör att jag får flyga Lufthansa via Frankfurt istället.

Finnair avoids support strikes, flights operated normally



The Finnish Aviation Union (IAU) and Finnair’s catering subcontractor LSG Sky Chefs Finland Oy reached reconciliation in negotiations led by the National Conciliator today, November 18. Consequently the threat of extensive support strikes now disappears and Finnair may operate its flights normally.



“We are pleased that our customers’ worries can now be put aside and that we can return to normal flight schedules. We want to express apologies to our customers for the disruptions in the past days and the uncertainty and harm caused by both strike and support strike threats,” says Finnair Chief Operating Officer Ville Iho. “These kinds of situations are always regrettable for Finnair, whose operations are based on quality and punctuality.”
 
Flög München - Helsingfors o torsdags och tillbaka i morse. Rätt intressant pa tva sätt.



Man gick inte ut med varken mail eller SMS info om strejken. Hade helt missat att det var strejkhot, i torsdags loggade jag in via mobilen men inte ett ord om att den största transportstrejken i Finland pa 10 ar var pa kommande. Det insag när jag när jag kom fram till Helsingfors och insag att det fanns en rejäl chans att jag inte skulle komma tillbaka som planerat.



Det som Finnair däremot förvarnade om via SMS var att de inte skulle kunna ha nagon mat pa flygen, det var tydligen viktigare än att man riskerade att bli strandad.



Det ironiska i det hela var dock att de trots allt delade ut baguetter i ekonomiklass. De mackorna var betydligt mycket godare och rejälare än de vanliga industri trekanstmackorna som man brukar fa inom europa. Alla som satt runt omkring mig höll med om att det var en klar förbättring jämfört med standard.
