Case No 2458 (Argentina) - Complaint date: 30-NOV-05

Aeronautical Technical Workers’ Association (APTA) and Association of Airline Pilots (APLA)

Allegations

The complainant organizations allege that during a collective dispute with the enterprises Aerolíneas Argentinas SA and Austral Líneas Aéreas Cielos del Sur SA, during the course of which a strike was called in July 2005, the labour administration authority on two occasions invoked the Mandatory Conciliation Act, suspending all direct action and ultimately the right to strike, unilaterally fixed a minimum level of service on the grounds that it regarded air transport as an essential service, and initiated summary proceedings with a view to fining the trade union organizations. The complainant organizations allege that the companies concerned took advantage of the measures adopted by the labour administration to dismiss or otherwise discipline workers for exercising their legitimate right to strike
