easyJet Cabin Crew Meet in Emergency Assembly and Union Does Not Rule Out Strike

Now15 September 2026 at 10:34

The cabin crew of easyJet airline will hold an emergency assembly next Thursday. The union representing the workers called this extraordinary meeting to discuss issues related to working conditions and employee rights.

During the assembly, the crew members are expected to debate the main concerns that have been building up, including topics such as schedules, remuneration, and work organization at the low-cost airline.

The union representing the professionals has not ruled out the possibility of a strike, leaving open the option of resorting to this form of protest if negotiations do not progress satisfactorily. This position comes in a context of growing tension between the workers and easyJet's management.

The emergency assembly scheduled for Thursday comes as an intermediate step before any more drastic decision, allowing the crew members to collectively assess the situation and define the next steps to follow.

Why this matters

Readers who use easyJet in Portugal may face flight cancellations or delays if the situation escalates into a strike. Cabin crew members face working conditions that prompted this mobilization, and the outcome of this assembly could determine whether there will be imminent collective action. The possibility of a strike follows a trend of labor disputes in the low-cost aviation sector in Europe.
