Regulation EC No. 261/2004 excludes the liability of the air carrier from the obligation to pay compensation to passengers for canceled flights in the event of "extraordinary circumstances" that could not be avoid despite taking all reasonable measures. Although that regulation does not expressly define the concept of 'extraordinary circumstances', the EU legislature indicated that it may occur in the event of events such as those mentioned in recital 14 of that regulation. That recital mentions, inter alia, "strikes affecting the carrier's operations". However, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) takes the position that a strike by air carrier personnel is not, in principle, an extraordinary circumstance, except where the implementation of employees' requests goes beyond its competence and requires legislative action. The article presents the rulings of the CJEU and arguments supporting the thesis that the reasoning adopted by the Court leads to a violation of the freedom to conduct a business (established in Article 16 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights) and the employer's right to negotiate (guaranteed in Article 28 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights). - The concept of an accident at work of a deputy and senator
