International Airlines Group (IAG), the holding company that groups Iberia and British Airways since its merger in 2011, announced Friday it will continue with the original setting plan announced last November 9th to lift Iberia losses, despite the threat of trade unions to call the airline at least five days of strikes in the second half of this month.
"Iberia will go ahead with previously announced capacity reductions of 15% for 2013," stated the group in a statement after meeting the Governing Council. But the memo does not specify whether it maintains its goal of eliminating 4,500 jobs, 23% of the workforce, as announced in its day. In his latest bid to unions, Iberia proposed a 30% layoffs, among other improvements on the original proposal, but there was no agreement.
Representatives of ground workers and flight crews (93% of the workforce) prepare at least five days of strikes for the second half of February, according to union sources.
Willie Walsh, CEO of IAG, he was "disappointed" by the lack of agreement, but in the same statement said that "Iberia is ready and willing to negotiate with the unions," while it has reiterated its determination to carry out changes "necessary to ensure the survival and viability of Iberia".
The company has not provided information about it on Friday, but to push through the dismissal must present a record of employment regulation, which requires him to open a month of negotiations with representatives of the workforce.
For unions, "blackmail"
Just the same day was the deadline given by IAG, the company resulting from the merger of Iberia and British Airways, unions CCOO, UGT, USO, CTA Flight, SITCPLA and broke Asetma Thursday negotiation with management over the plan transformation after the airline described as "blackmail" the company's latest proposal. In a joint statement, the six unions have said they are left "out of the confrontation" and that will go back to Interconfederal Service Mediation and Arbitration (SIMA) "to set the only recourse left to us: the conflict" .
Spanish airline filed a late deal to the unions on Thursday, when was the deadline imposed by Iberia to reach agreement on the adjustment plan announced on November 9. The proposed reduced by 30% the number of layoffs, until 3147 people, ie 16% of the workforce. Similarly, the reduction of 2013 routes would be 10%. Also there would be a smaller pay cut, from 25% to 35% proposed in November to 11% for ground workers and 23% for cabin crew and pilots.
However, the deal did not convince the unions, who felt that the figures do not add up because even though the company seems willing to reduce the fit has remained the same goals of profitability, according to union sources. This fact did think the representatives of the workforce that the proposals are unrealistic and do not guarantee future growth of the airline.
Improve outcome
The aim of Iberia is improving its operating results in 600 million by 2015. In the first nine months of the year, the airline's losses were 262 million, compared with operating profit of 285 million recorded for the other leg of the holding company, British Airways.
The address of Iberia on Thursday also met separately with the pilots union, the Sepla. This group gave no broken negotiations and expects a response to the proposal submitted Thursday to the airline. This includes the co-pilots of Iberia Iberia Express pass, the low cost of the company, with the wages currently paid higher salary level commanders of the subsidiary. As for the bid submitted by Iberia pilots believe that is harder than the last.
