Overview
- The compulsory conciliation ordered on December 23 expires on Friday as ATEPSA and EANA meet at 11:15 to seek a resolution.
- If no wage agreement is reached, authorities could extend the cooling‑off period by five business days to continue talks.
- EANA says it is working to guarantee normal operations during the summer rush and criticizes the union’s stance as intransigent.
- Because air‑traffic control is an essential service, any lawful strike would require several days’ advance notice under labor rules.
- Repeated stoppages through 2025 and a federal investigation into an alleged 2023 paritary act involving union leaders and a former EANA chief are adding pressure to the negotiations.
