The airline’s union says that its 464 members are seeking the restoration of pre-pandemic employment conditions and benefits. The organization’s demands represent under 1% of LATAM’s recent profits. The company claims that it is taking appropriate steps to mitigate disruptions and offer options to passengers impacted by the strike. Early airline messaging had suggested that the carrier is going to be taking a limited operational hit, but that cancellations have widened across the week’s schedule, focusing instead on services to and from Chile. Negotiations remained stalled, and the airline’s near-term outlook is thus uncertain as a result.
