PARIS-<\/strong> easyJet (U2)<\/a> cabin crew unions in France have filed a strike notice after negotiations with airline management failed to resolve concerns over working conditions. The move has increased the possibility of disruption to flights operating from major French airports, including Paris Orly Airport (ORY) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), during the busy summer travel season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no strike dates have been confirmed, the notice gives employees the legal right to take industrial action later in July or during August. easyJet (U2) has expressed disappointment with the outcome while urging unions to continue discussions and avoid disruption for passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

easyJet Cabin Crew to Strike in France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

French cabin crew unions submitted the strike notice<\/a> after a meeting with easyJet management on July 23 ended without an agreement. According to reports from Le Figaro<\/em>, the discussions failed to resolve several long-standing concerns raised by employee representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, filing a strike notice does not automatically result in a strike. Under French labor regulations, unions must issue a formal notice before employees can legally stop work. This means flights will continue to operate as scheduled unless industrial action is officially announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potential dispute comes during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, when airlines experience high passenger demand across Europe. Any future strike could affect flights to and from France if negotiations do not progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unions Cite Working Conditions and Fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cabin crew representatives argue that working conditions have deteriorated over recent months. Their concerns include increasingly demanding schedules, frequent roster changes, staffing shortages, and growing fatigue among flight attendants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to union representatives, unpredictable scheduling has made it more difficult for employees to maintain work-life balance while meeting operational requirements. They also believe current staffing levels place additional pressure on cabin crew during busy travel periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SNPNC-FO union has raised another issue involving proposed retirement policy changes affecting airline employees. The union argues that flight crew careers involve unique physical demands and age-related operational limitations that should be considered when retirement and pension rules are reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives believe any reforms should recognize the distinctive nature of aviation professions and the challenges associated with long-term cabin crew service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
