Iberia emerges from the crisis: union agreement to launch Iberia Express

The dispute which has been raging between Iberia and its staff for several weeks now seems to have finally come to an end: the airline announced on 25 January that it had reached an agreement which should put an end to the strike action.

Worried about the possible consequences of the launch of the new low-cost airline Iberia Express, Iberia employees have obtained new guarantees from Iberia. The Spanish airline announced on 25 January that it had reached an agreement with the various unions (Sitcpla, CTA, UGT and CCOO) providing for a two-year extension of job guarantees, as well as the hiring of several temporary contracts: 108 positions would be affected. All that remains now is for the text to be adopted by the workers' assemblies.
