The Avanza company has considered that this strike call is “unjustified” and “harmful”, in addition to highlighting that it is called alone by the SATTRA union, “without respecting the unity of the works committee as a representative body of the workers.”
Through a statement, Avanza has stated that they do not understand that “in the middle of a open negotiation on the new collective agreement and, with the push from SAMA to expedite the process, one of the five union sections that make up the committee distanced itself and unilaterally called for strikes starting in December.”
Avanza indicates that there is a scenario of “progress in the negotiation” which is why they point out that SATTRA puts its union objectives before the interest of all the company’s workers who are affected by the agreement, in addition to harming the service and the citizen. since, in addition, they remember that the collective agreement is negotiated only with the committee as a whole and with union sections independently.
However, SATTRA, which rejects the company’s offer, has indicated that The strikes are called due to no progress in the negotiation after a year and after 26 meetings with AVANZA, apart from pointing out that the strikes have the “resounding affirmative response obtained from our membership.”
