Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways to continue negotiations on Spring Struggle, impact of Corona uncertain

In this year's Spring Struggle, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have decided not to respond to bonuses and lump-sum payments on the 16th, which was the unified response day for the airline industry, due to the uncertain impact of the new coronavirus on their business performance, and will continue discussions with the labor unions.

In this year's Spring Struggle, the JAL labor union is demanding a monthly bonus of one month's wages for the summer and winter of the new fiscal year.

The date for labor-management negotiations in the airline industry was the 16th, but the management of Japan Airlines decided not to respond to the bonus demand, citing the uncertain impact of the new coronavirus on its performance, and will continue negotiations with the labor union.

On the other hand, the labor union of All Nippon Airways has demanded a lump-sum payment for the summer and winter of the new fiscal year that will be equivalent to at least one month's monthly wages, but the company plans to continue negotiations without setting a deadline for a response.

With the new coronavirus still not under control, the airline industry continues to face an unusual situation in which the two major airlines are both uncertain about the treatment of their employees.
