LATAM Airlines Brazil, formerly TAM Linhas Aéreas, previously announced a mass layoff and now its employees have gone on strike.

A video of an alleged strike involving LATAM employees is circulating on the internet, and the week started off a bit busy at the company’s headquarters.

LATAM Will Outsource Its Services in Brazil

It seems that the strike was justified due to the various mass layoffs involving LATAM and also a possible outsourcing contract that involves aircraft dispatch activities before flights.

LATAM is now cutting some employees; it claims that all layoffs are due to the coronavirus pandemic. One of the main functions to be eliminated would be the DOT.

LATAM Eliminated an Important Function of Its Company

The DOT is a function characterized by the organization of boarding, restriction of suspicious deliveries, checking personal documents, and much more.

The function no longer exists, and this also applies to its complement called DOV, the function that dealt with ANAC certification, flight plans, flight route, and fuel calculation.

Strike at LATAM

When asked about the mass layoffs, the strike at his company, and how the organization would fare in the market, the CEO of LATAM went straight to the point and said: “I don’t need a market, I need money”.

Without the dispatch from the technicians who were also on strike, the planes cannot leave for their destinations, resulting in many people being affected, having to reschedule their flights.

The employees refused to perform their activities until 5 PM; two hours later, a meeting was held, and both parties returned to their normal activities.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
