Strike that would have disrupted flights in Argentina called off at the last minute
The conflict between the Air Navigation Protection and Safety Technicians and Employees Association (ATEPSA) and the Argentine government took a turn on Friday with the imposition of mandatory conciliation, effectively halting the planned air traffic controller strike set to begin Saturday, May 24.
According to the Argentine Air Navigation Company (EANA), this resolution ensures the “normal operation of the essential air navigation service at all airports in Argentina, every day and during all time slots.”
The union had previously announced a series of strikes set to run through May 31, which would have severely disrupted the regular operation of flights nationwide.
The proposed industrial actions involved service interruptions on six different days and at varying times, simultaneously affecting all Argentine airports.
Although the union reiterated its intent to proceed with the strikes during a meeting called by the Secretariat of Labor, the imposition of mandatory conciliation has suspended these actions.
EANA stated that services will now continue “with full normality,” clearing the way for uninterrupted flight operations—at least for now.
ATEPSA claims that salaries have been frozen for over eight months, and that EANA’s latest proposal included a 0% wage increase, aiming to close negotiations for the 2024/25 bargaining period.
