EasyJet cabin crew to meet in emergency assembly; union does not rule out strike

The SNPVAC union has called an emergency general assembly for Thursday, September 17, at 10:30 in Lisbon to discuss deteriorating working conditions. The union states that all measures are on the table, including the possibility of a strike, to pressure the airline to address their labour grievances.

Why it matters

While a strike has not been officially called yet, this assembly could lead to industrial action that might disrupt easyJet flights in the near future; if you have travel booked with them, monitor news for any concrete announcements regarding a stoppage.
