LAN Peru's local aviation mechanics have unanimously voted in favour in a vote to accept a proposal new contract with management, according to the mechanics' union SITALANPE.
The move is aimed at preventing a planned strike by cabin crew who are pushing for better work conditions.
The four-year collective agreement is to push for better wages and working conditions, reported American Journal of Transportation (AJOT).
According to SITALANPE secretary general Oscar Angosto the new contract will help set a higher standard for Peruvian workers in multinational companies who are not being paid the same as those in other countries.
The union's press secretary Juan Carlos Talavera added, "LAN Peru aviation mechanics have demonstrated our ability to work hard for what is best for us as workers, for our families, for our union, and to improve aviation standards in the region."
Another brewing strike involves cabin crew who are fighting for better working conditions given that since 2005, when the company began operations in Argentina, it has refused to sign a relevant collective agreement.
Cabin crew in Argentina face a regime of multiple different individual work agreements or "pacts" that prevent them from working with the support and protection of a collective lawful work agreement that would provide equal working conditions for all the flight attendants.
Press secretary of the Asociacion Argentina de Aeronavegantes Natalia Fontana said, "The flight attendants of Argentina hold LAN Argentina responsible for the inconvenience that could be produced in the upcoming days if there is not a constructive change from the company in this area."
