Strike

Escalation

SAS must simplify

Information Officer Knut Morten Johansen SAS said that the conflict with the pilots in his company is quite different background for pilot strike in English earlier this år.- But there is one common trait: both company needs for simplification and flexibility in labor agreements. Mediation with pilots at SAS has not been about salary or pension. However, SAS survive with Norwegian working conditions, it is necessary to have a greater flexibility in contracts, says Johansen told TV 2 News Channel.
