Norway Flights at Risk as SAS Cabin Crew Strike Declared
The walkout could cancel weekend flights after 468 crew members rejected a proposed labor deal, union officials said.
- On Saturday, August 8, 468 SAS cabin crew members will begin strike action in Norway after rejecting a proposed labour agreement with over 90 percent ballot turnout.
- Fellesforbundet issued the strike notice after a majority of members rejected the recommended proposal during yesterday's ballot, prompting the union to mobilize for industrial action.
- The 468 employees, part of a group of around 500 covered by the SAS Cabin Crew Agreement, complained of increased workloads and responsibilities without corresponding pay increases.
- Chief negotiator Dag-Einar Sivertsen said, "This shows that member democracy within Fellesforbundet works," while confirming the union's phone line remains open for discussions before Saturday.
- Flights to and from Norway face potential weekend cancellations, though Fellesforbundet excluded Medevac and Longyearbyen services from the walkout to preserve essential operations.
