SAS Crew Services (UNITE) Strike Calendar

Over 130 cabin crew working for Scandinavian Airlines Services (SAS), based out of Heathrow, are taking strike action that could see festive flights to and from Scandinavia under threat. Members of Unite are furious at the lack of a decent pay offer from the company with the current offer below the rate of inflation and not being backdated to their pay anniversary date. They will now walk out on 22, 23, 24 and 26 December. Cabin crew are so badly paid they have reported having to use food banks when landing in Scandinavia as they cannot afford meals before flying back home to the UK. While other crew members report resorting to having to sleep in their cars overnight in service station because SAS won't pay for or subsidise hotels for staff.

Over 100 cabin crew working for SAS Crew Services, based out of Heathrow, are being balloted over potential strike action that would see festive flights to and from Scandinavia under threat. Members of the Unite union are furious at a lack of a decent pay offer from the company with the current offer below the rate of inflation and not being backdated to their pay anniversary date. SAS has only offered a 3.5 per cent pay increase which, with inflation currently at 4.5 per cent represents a real-terms pay cut for hard-working cabin crew staff.
