The majority of employees working at the Poprad-Tatry Airport will go on strike alert as of Wednesday, September 20. The head of local labor unions Michal Pavela announced after his meeting with Transport Minister Pavel Lancaric on Tuesday. Pavela claimed that the minister has failed to dispel the unionists' concerns that the airport might get sold or downsized in the future. Lancaric responded that any such worries are absolutely unfounded. Lancaric assured the unionists that no plans are in the pipes to change the character of the airport. The Minister doesn't agree with the employees' criticism of a personnel replacement on the board of directors, as it's not important whether the new board member has work experience in the sphere of aviation but rather with directing a big corporation. He added that its problem is business-based, as it generates less revenue than it needs.
