Seems like the Norwegians will do something against this social dumping, from abcnyheter.no:
Politicians believe SAS is approaching social dumping through its Irish subsidiary, and will consider legislative change. "Does not match reality," says SAS.
"This is obviously in the direction of social dumping. There is an evolution in aviation we will not delete. We now look at how we can tighten up the provisions of the Working Environment Act, "says Arild Grande (AP) in the Storting's Employment and Social Committee for ABC News.
He receives support from colleagues in the same committee:
"Today, SAS management balances on the edge of the law and always fits in undermining today's law while not being convicted of it," says Per Olaf Lundteigen (Sp), and announces he will go for legislative change if needed.
"I think SAS should sharpen. They should not go ahead to tear down our own good working life, complementing Solfrid Lerbrekk (SV).
Last Thursday ABC News wrote that SAS management will continue to build overseas. Today, how much can be flown by other than SAS pilots through negotiated agreements. The low cost airlines have no such limitations.
With nine machines in SAS Ireland, SAS will be close to the limit of the tariff agreement that expires in 2019.
"It is not uncommon for the board of directors to be in charge of the board and management of a company. I think it is quite natural for SAS to work this way too, "said Gustafson to Dagens Næringsliv after SAS reported a record profit of almost 2 billion after the third quarter.
The statement provoked strongly the Norwegian SAS Pilots Association (NSF).
According to chairman Christian Laulund, SAS is flying pilots from the subsidiary SAS Ireland (SAIL) to operate SAIL machines in the regular grid. These are employed by an Irish agency, and have lower pay and poorer conditions than regular staff pilots in the parent company.
"If it's not social dumping, I do not know: They bring labor early on Monday morning, and fly them home Friday," said Laulund.
He added that they did not pay taxes to Norway, and that SAS had no Norwegian employer's contribution.League leader Yngve Carlsen of the Norwegian Air Force Association says he has discussed the issue with the LO management. They respond to pilots from SAS Ireland being accommodated in hotels in Scandinavia for several days, and flying SAIL machines from Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen on routes that pilots in the motherhood SAS usually have flown.
If that's right, such a practice is both sensational and problematic, "Carlsen told ABC News.
According to Carlsen, it violates rules of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The basic principle is that migrant workers must be treated equally with the host country's employees in terms of salary, working conditions and social rights.
"How much of the pilots in SAIL moved from the bases in Malaga and London to" position "themselves is in this context, says the federal leader.
