EasyJet French Cabin Crew to Strike Over Working Conditions

Holiday travel plans across France face potential disruption this week as EasyJet flight attendants prepare for a two-day strike on August 15 and 16. The SNPC-FO union announced the walkout following an impasse in negotiations, accusing the airline of ignoring repeated warnings regarding staff working conditions and professional standards.

The SNPC-FO union stated that the decision to strike stems from a total lack of progress in recent talks. Union representatives placed the responsibility for any resulting flight cancellations or schedule shifts squarely on the airline, citing a failure to provide serious responses to long-standing grievances.

In response, an EasyJet spokesperson maintained that the company has already presented a formal offer to address staff concerns. The airline has requested that unions cancel the strike action, noting that further negotiations are already scheduled for September. While the carrier pledged to minimize passenger impact by offering free transfers and refunds, the labor dispute adds uncertainty to operations for the London-listed airline, which is currently the subject of a £5.70 billion acquisition bid by investment firm Apollo Global Management.
