The Argentine Airline Pilots Association (APLA) has raised concerns over delays in reopening wage negotiations with Aerolíneas Argentinas and Optar, warning that the situation could escalate into a labor conflict. The union accuses the airline of failing to uphold the agreements established in their previous deal, citing delays in discussions now scheduled for February.
In a statement shared on social media, APLA criticized the airline’s stance, claiming it “undermines trust and good faith between the parties” and called the company’s approach “a complete disregard for the workers.” The union emphasized the employees’ dedication, which has been instrumental in achieving record passenger numbers during the peak season, and urged immediate resumption of wage talks.
