Asked about a possible action union in court against the company management, the commander replies that it is a possibility. “We think until there is an ongoing judicial investigation to the management of TAP”.

Since the agreement was terminated by any party, “still valid”, so the riders desconvocarão the strike only “when the Government and TAP decide to honor their commitments,” assures Cardoso Santos.
