In a press release, Air France-KLM said its
Board of Directors had met on Thursday to assess
the implementation of the Perform 2020 plan
within the Group, that KLM Management signed an
agreement in September to increase productivity
with all its staff. This agreement was
immediately put into effect.
The release further stated "The Board has noted
the absence of an agreement on 30 September 2015
in the negotiations between Air France
Management and flight crew unions, in spite of
on-going dialogue over the past several months
and numerous proposals put forward by Air France
Management.
"Facing the impossibility of reaching an
agreement to implement the productivity measures
within Air France in order to restore long-term
profitability, the Board members consider it
essential to introduce an alternative plan and
have unanimously agreed to mandate Air
France-KLM and Air France Management to carry
this out.
