Air France employees threaten strike during Christmas

The UNAC and SNGAF unions, which represent Air France flight attendants, said in a joint leaflet circulated by French media that staff would go on strike from December 22 to January 2 unless management grants their demand for better working conditions and higher wages, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"This notice should serve as a warning to our management. If we are not heard, all we will have to do is call for an active strike," the leaflet read.

France's flag carrier, on the contrary, is demanding an increase in the productivity of its staff, with an employee expected to serve 50 passengers during a Christmas flight instead of the usual 48, according to French newspaper Le Figaro.

Air France management reportedly hopes that the holiday period will bring in enough profit to compensate part of the losses caused by the cancellation of many flights during pandemic years.
