The union cites a series of unilateral actions by the company's owners, primarily concerning efficiency measures and workforce reductions, which they claim were implemented without consultation or agreement with employee representatives.
According to the workers, the company's management is pursuing initiatives that significantly impact their employment future, working conditions, and rights. These actions include the cancellation of flight routes and concerns about the company potentially facing insolvency.
