March 7, 2016

After a two-day strike, pilots and cabin workers here won union representation and a contract. The workers are employed by temp agency Global Employer Company, which hires pilots and cabin crew for the United Kingdom-based carrier Flybe, a subcontractor since last year for some short runs of Scandinavian Airlines System.

Negotiations between Global Employer and the Unionen, which represents 30 cabin workers, started in December. When the company refused to sign a contract with conditions equivalent to the rest of the industry, the workers walked out Feb. 22. Flights were cancelled affecting more than 1,000 passengers.
