SAS Cabin Crew Strike Ends with Successful Wage Deal

Scandinavian airline SAS has reached a wage agreement with Norwegian cabin crew, ending a strike that had disrupted numerous flights. The agreement includes concessions on pay and working conditions, marking a victory for the labor unions involved. Approximately 120 SAS employees had been striking to demand better wages and conditions.

Scandinavian airline SAS has successfully negotiated a wage deal with its cabin crew in Norway, putting an end to the strike action that has grounded multiple flights since late last week, according to statements released by two labor unions on Tuesday.

"This is a big and important win for our members," stated Joern Eggum, leader of the Norwegian Federation of Trade Unions. Eggum emphasized that the workers had achieved significant concessions on pay and other working conditions. Another labor union involved in the strike also confirmed that it had reached an agreement and that strike action would cease immediately.

SAS did not provide an immediate response to requests for comment. The strike, which began on Friday with approximately 120 SAS employees participating, left numerous passengers stranded over the weekend and led to the cancellation of around 50 flights by Monday. The action was initiated as a result of failed wage negotiations.
