Sweden -SAS replaces staff in dispute over facilities -November 19, 2014

SAS will dismiss 100 Swedish cabin staff workers. Beginning in February 2015, the workers will be replaced by Norwegian personnel. The dismissals are the result of a dispute between the airline and the Swedish cabin trade union. Norwegian cabin crews do not have the same requirements for rest facilities in their collective agreements, so they can take over from the Swedish cabin crews.
