CEO AF dà le dimissioni


Re: CEO AF da le dimissioni

Ahai, sono curioso ora della reazione dei colleghi della KLM a riguardo. E piú che altro sarebbe interessante sapere chi vorrá prendersi l´onore e l´onere di occupare quella sedia che al momento pare essere molto scomoda..
 
Re: CEO AF da le dimissioni

In queste situazioni bisogna anche avere le capacità di trattare, essere così intransigenti come sta dimostrando di essere il sindacato dei piloti non significa trattare, ma ricattare. Ed è piuttosto stupido a mio avviso

Nulla di nuovo, hanno sempre (e sottolineo sempre) agito in tal modo. Il referendum, poi, è stata una minchiata colossale che ha dato un assist ghiottissimo ai sindacati ed i risultati si vedono.

Infatti. Vedo solo miopia da parte dei sindacati. Non capisco dove si voglia arrivare considerando che proprio oggi AF ha pubblicato i risultati pessimi del Q1.

Credo che sia evidente l'intento di mostrare chi comanda. In barba alle logiche del mercato e della competitivita' i veri nemici dei sindacati.
E purtroppo sembra che ci stiano riuscendo, proprio al centro dell'Europa, prima da noi ed ora dai cugini d'oltralpe.

Secondo me in AF vogliono arrivare a scorporare sempre più attività da AF e trasferirla alle altre compagnie del gruppo in modo da bypassare le pretese sindacali. Solo che hanno bisogno di un forte sostegno del governo e solo mettendo quest'ultimo davanti all'intransigenza dei sindacati possono ottenerlo.

Air France-KLM CEO to quit after staff reject pay deal

PARIS (Reuters) - Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) CEO Jean-Marc Janaillac said on Friday he would resign after staff rejected a pay deal, plunging the airline into turmoil amid a wave of strikes at its French brand that has cost the company 300 million euros ($359 million).

In the job for less than two years, Janaillac had been battling to cut costs at the French national carrier to keep up with competition from Gulf carriers and low-cost airlines. But he ran into the same union resistance as his predecessor, raising questions over the airline’s capacity to reform.

Janaillac said he would resign in the days ahead after more than half of the staff at Air France who cast a ballot voted against the offer of a 7 percent increase over four years.
“This is an enormous mess that will only put a smile on the faces of our competitors,” Janaillac told a news conference.

He said he hoped his departure would spark “a more acute collective awareness” before leaving without taking questions.
Unions said they would stick with plans to strike on May 7 and May 8.

Air France-KLM earlier on Friday reined in its 2018 profit and growth expectations, partly due to the effects of the strikes, and said it was not able to take advantage of a good market environment for European carriers.

Air France needs to cut costs to keep up with leaner rivals in Europe. Profits at Dutch sister company KLM, which has cut costs, rose in the first quarter, contrasting sharply with losses at Air France.
Rivals British Airways (ICAG.L) and Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) have already undergone painful cost-cutting in recent years as they battled to compete with the rise of low-cost carriers in Europe and new competition from Gulf carriers.

Air France has lagged behind, with unions hampering efforts.

“There is inevitably some pain for staff when structural changes are made, but once that is dealt with, you’re left with a much healthier company,” said aviation consultant John Strickland. “That has been proved in the cases of the turnarounds achieved by Iberia and British Airways.”

Shares in Air France-KLM have tumbled 39 percent so far this year. The French state is Air France-KLM’s largest shareholder with a 14 percent stake, ahead of Delta Airlines and China Eastern which both hold 9 percent.

“It is up to the board to define how the airline gets itself out of this current crisis,” the French finance and transport ministries said in a joint statement.

In a high-stakes gamble, Janaillac said before Friday’s vote that it would be hard for him to stay in the role if the unions pushed back against the salary offer. His stance was backed by the French government which has previously said the dispute is damaging the company.

The reform-minded CFDT union, the largest in France, said it regretted the vote’s outcome as well as Janaillac’s decision to quit, but that it would not sign the pay offer in light of the result. A total of ten other unions rejected the offer.

Air France management had offered workers a salary increase of 2 percent in 2018 and a further 5 percent over the following three years. Unions demanded 5 percent this year.
“We were asking 5 percent this year, the company was proposing 2 percent. There is probably an answer to be found somewhere in between,” Philippe Evain, president of the SNPL pilots union, told news channel TF1.

Janaillac was appointed CEO of Air France-KLM in June 2016 after his predecessor failed to reform the airline in the face of union resistance.
Liberum analyst Gerald Khoo said ahead of the vote result that a rejection of the offer would suggest that Air France was incapable of being reformed.
“Losing two consecutive CEOs who have taken significantly different approaches to the unions would imply the business is unmanageable,” Khoo said.

C'è da dire che con queste mosse, i sindacati, non fanno altro che velocizzare questo processo.

Il Ministro delle finanze è stato chiaro: AF rischia di sparire e lo stato non ci metterà un euro.

Probabilmente Le Marie con le sue dichiarazioni spera di sbloccare la situazione.
Se non sbaglio oggi a mezzogiorno si riuniscono i sindacati per decidere le prossime mosse.

Strikes continue as Air France, rail workers and students fight against reforms

Air France staff kicked off another two-day strike on Monday joining rail workers for a second month of stoppages in a bitter feud pitting workers and students against the government over President Emmanuel Macron’s labour reforms.

In the latest sign of the deepening industrial row to grip France, the Prime Minister Édouard Philippemet Monday with unions in an effort to defuse tensions with state-run railway SNCF that has seen rail services disrupted for much of last month.
While unions agreed to stick to their programme of striking for two days out of every five through the end of June, there was a split between the hardline and moderate unions with the latter saying they were open to further negotiations.
The prime minister confirmed his government was open to absorbing "a substantial part" of the state-owned SNCF railway company and would discuss the issue further with unions.

Groundswell of opposition
Monday’s meeting follows a decision by Air France CEO Jean Marc Janaillac to resign after airline staff on Friday rejected a pay deal designed to end weeks of strikes. Aggrieved staff walked off the job today, embarking on a two-day strike to continue their demands for higher wages.
Since rail and airline stoppages began in early April, the country has been beset by employee unrest and disruptions to transport services. Rail workers are disputing the deregulation of the railway network and an end to job-for-life contracts in overlapping industrial action with Air France.
calendar-may-strike_en.png

The strikes have triggered a groundswell of opposition to a raft of reforms, with workers’ unions, civil servants, transport staff and students uniting in the streets in their thousands but thus far having failed to force Macron’s hand.
The French president, who has said he will pursue his reforms “to the end”, appears to have gained some momentum, with public opinion still behind him since his first clash with the hard-left aligned CGT union last October. The latest Ifop survey published Sunday showed 56 percent believe the strikes are “not justified”, a result in line with other surveys since April that favour Macron.
CGT chief Philippe Martinez said last week that as with every strike movement, “there are highs and lows”, though he insisted that the movement remained strong.
But participation rates at rallies have not reached anywhere near the mass numbers seen in previous eras, with Martinez struggling to drum up support for a grand uprising reminiscent of the 1968 student-led anti-government protests.
SNCF management said that the share of staff striking had dropped to 17 percent this week down from more than 30 percent when rail strikes began on April 3.
The strength of the protest movement may have waned but between them, union bosses for Air France, the SNCF and university students are maintaining pressure on the government to roll back planned reforms.

Latest developments
Here are the latest developments on the strike front as France enters its second month of stoppages:

  • Air France
At Air France, 85 percent of flights were scheduled to go ahead for Monday, May 7 on the 14th day of intermittent strike action, as they press for a 5.1 percent pay increase this year.
The stoppages will affect 99 percent of long-haul flights Monday, 80 percent of medium-haul to and from Paris Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, and 87 percent of short-haul flights to Orly and the provinces.
Overall, it’s the lowest number of flight cancellations since the start of the wage crisis.
The government warned Sunday that the state, a minority shareholder of Air France-KLM, would not come "to the rescue" of the company and added that "the survival of Air France is at stake".
The statement followed the resignation of the airline’s CEO Jean-Marc Janaillac. Shares for the flagship carrier plunged when French markets opened Monday.

  • SNCF
Rail workers at SNCF began their eighth round of strikes adhering to a schedule of two out of five days off work starting Monday at 8pm and ending Thursday at 7:55am as Prime Minister Philippe met railway unions for the first time since the beginning of the industrial dispute.
According to the moderate union Unsa, discussions will continue until the passage of the railway reform legislation in the Senate. The bill will first go to the Senate committee on May 23 and is expected to reach the National Assembly by July.
The representatives of the railway workers will meet Wednesday at 5pm (3pm GMT) at the headquarters of the CGT union to decide on how they will proceed.

  • Universities
End of term exams are approaching at university faculties across France, but the protest movement against the government’s so-called Vidal law -- designed to introduce a more merit-based admissions process -- continues at various campuses.
In Nanterre, where students have led a blockade since mid-April, alternative arrangements have been made for assessing coursework and exams have been postponed.
The Tolbiac site, which is part of the Pantheon-Sorbonne University (Paris-1), was forcibly evacuated on April 20 after students led a month-long occupation of the campus. The premises of the Paris faculty were left in disarray and are now undergoing several weeks of renovation work. Up to 18,000 students who were scheduled to take their exams there this month are to be reassigned to centres in the suburbs of Paris.
Another school blockaded for the past month is the University of Paris-8. On several campuses, administrations have called for more security, and even police to guard the entrances to examination rooms.

Air France-Klm, le prime indiscrezioni sul successore di Janaillac

A poche ore dalle dimissioni del ceo di Air France-Klm Jean-Marc Janaillac, arrivano le prime indiscrezioni sul suo successore. Secondo quanto riportato da Il Sole 24 Ore, in cima alla lista dei papabili ci sarebbe Anne-Marie Idrac. La manager (67 anni, di cui buona parte passati nel settore dei trasporti) non sarebbe un nome sgradito all’Eliseo: caratteristica che, insieme all’esperienza, costituirebbe titolo preferenziale per la carica.

Idrac è già membro del consiglio di amministrazione della compagnia aerea, ma nel suo curriculum ci sono diverse esperienze ‘di peso’ nello comparto, a partire dalla carica di sottosegretario ai trasporti. Ma in passato è stata anche presidente di Ratp, l’ente autonomo dei trasporti di Parigi, oltre che di Sncf e dell’aeroporto di Tolosa. Inoltre, la nomina della manager sarebbe vista con favore anche dagli olandesi di Klm.

Intanto, la prima giornata di borsa dopo il terremoto Air France si è chiusa con una pesante perdita per la compagnia: il titolo ha perso il 9,83% (dopo aver toccato il -13%).

Per quanto riguarda le tempistiche, Janaillac lascerà l’incarico il prossimo 15 maggio, durante l’Assemblea generale del gruppo. TTG

Strikes and a departing CEO: Turmoil at Air France-KLM

BERLIN (Reuters) - Franco-Dutch airline Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) is in turmoil after the CEO said he would resign following the rejection of a pay offer by striking French staff.
Jean-Marc Janaillac is the second CEO to depart since 2016 over rows with powerful French unions over cost-cutting efforts.
Air France’s French unions called on management on Tuesday to resume talks over the pay dispute.
The following is a look at some of the key issues involved.

UNION POWER

French unions have staged 15 days of walkouts since February, costing the company more than 300 million euros. A group of 10 unions representing pilots, cabin crew and ground staff at Air France have called for a 5 percent pay increase this year, saying they want to make up for purchasing power lost over six years of pay freezes.
Air France-KLM’s management has repeatedly rejected a pay increase of that scale and instead proposed a pay rise of 7 percent over four years, consisting of 2 percent in 2018 and a further 5 percent over the next three years.
French unions have a reputation for toughness, hitting the headlines in 2015 when workers ripped the shirts off executives after Air France announced job cuts following pilots’ refusal to work longer hours. Unions also forced Janaillac’s predecessor to row back on a plan to expand low-cost carrier Transavia, although Janaillac did manage to set up “lower-cost” unit Joon, using Air France pilots.

DOUBLE DUTCH

Air France-KLM was officially formed in 2004, with the takeover by Air France of KLM, which was struggling at the time.

Air France is still the larger partner in the tie-up, carrying 51.3 million passengers in 2017, against 32.7 million by KLM.
Cultural differences persist too, and Dutch pilots are exasperated by what they see as the French side’s lack of compromise. KLM has undergone restructuring and struck new labour deals to improve productivity and reduce costs. In the first quarter of 2018, KLM almost doubled its operating profit to 60 million euros, while Air France widened losses to 178 million euros.
Dutch unions said they see sticking with Air France as the best bet for now, although they urged a quick resolution to the problem.


A BRIEF HISTORY OF WALKOUTS

British Airways was the subject of a bitter pay dispute back in 2010, when it saw 22 days of cabin crew walkouts after a decision to cut cabin crew pay and alter staffing levels. The dispute was eventually brought to an end after 18 months and it cost the airline more than 150 million pounds.
BA CEO Willie Walsh also oversaw strikes by pilots and ground staff at loss-making Iberia in his role as CEO of airlines group IAG (ICAG.L) in 2013.

Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) was grounded by more than a dozen pilot strikes from 2014 to 2016 over a dispute on pay and early retirement benefits, with some walkouts lasting many days. It agreed a wide-ranging deal in 2017, and the walkouts cost it hundreds of millions of euros.
Like Lufthansa, Janaillac was trying to negotiate with staff at a time of rising profits.
Meanwhile, union refusal to accept restructuring at Italian flag carrier Alitalia saw it enter insolvency proceedings last year. The government is propping the airline up with a loan and is still seeking an investor for the carrier. Prospective buyer Lufthansa has repeatedly said it is only interested in buying Alitalia if it can first be restructured by Italy.

NEXT STEPS

The Air France unions, who feel emboldened in their latest demands by the resignation of Janaillac, have now said there will be a pause in the strikes, but have called on management to resume negotiations.
Air France-KLM’s board will meet on May 15 and decide on a management transition plan then. They have asked Janaillac to stay in place until the end of the group’s annual shareholder meeting, also on May 15.
Franck Terner remains CEO of the Air France unit, while Pieter Elbers is CEO of KLM. Elbers said on Friday that he would “contribute, wherever possible, to the stability and cohesion of the Air France-KLM Group.”
