The labor dispute, occurring during the peak travel season, has created tension between the staff and the management of the handling company. According to data provided by the strike committee, the impact on travelers has been significant, although operations at T1 appear normal to many users.
Union representatives have stated that the mobilization is a response to the loss of labor rights and a lack of dialogue with the new management. Key demands include improvements in workplace safety and health, the resizing of shifts, and the need to ensure work-life balance.
“"We are not asking for more money, more vacation days, or any special rights. We want decent work."
The last mediation between the parties, held on July 24, did not lead to an agreement. Workers insist that prevention measures and schedules are non-negotiable to end the strike, while airlines have chosen to reschedule flights to minimize the impact on transit passengers.
