Negotiations regarding collective bargaining agreements with both the Swedish and Norwegian pilot unions have been taking place since April. The negotiations in Sweden are coming close to a finish, however, if the parties don’t reach an agreement, the Swedish pilot union SPF has given notice of strike from Friday June 10 at 1800 hrs.

SAS’s goal in this year’s negotiations is to build on the progress we have laid the foundation for in 2015, so SAS has stated a limited number of demands in this year’s negotiations and SAS respects the framework of the central salary settlement in Norway and Sweden.
