Unions and Air France will hold meetings today (Friday) and on Tuesday to try to come to an agreement over planned job and route cuts.
They have agreed to meet again after talks earlier this week degenerated into a scuffle where executives had their shirts torn from their backs.
Human resources manager Xavier Broseta and senior official Pierre Plissonnier had to climb over a fence to get away from protesters who had stormed the airline’s head office at Roissy.
Unions are angry about proposed cost cutting measures, include cutting 1,700 ground staff, 900 cabin crew, and 300 pilots, a 10% reduction in its long-haul business, a reduction in the size of the aircraft fleet and an increase in pilots’ working hours.
