Overview

  • Argentina’s Secretariat of Labor prolonged the mandatory conciliation for five business days, now running until Jan. 26 at 8:00.
  • A new hearing between ATEPSA and the state-run EANA is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 23 at 11:00.
  • While the conciliation is in force, ATEPSA is barred from strikes or actions that disrupt flight operations.
  • Air navigation is classified as an essential service, requiring five days’ notice for any action after the truce and limiting disruptions to no more than 45% of operations.
  • The union’s core demand is wage improvement, as EANA reiterates openness to dialogue and criticizes what it calls union intransigence, with related judicial probes from 2023 still active.
