Bluebird Nordic refuses to sign an agreement for their employees, and the company has instead as of today chosen to close their base for pilots in Denmark in order to avoid the impending conflict.
This afternoon, an email ticked in at FPU. Here, the Danish lawyer for the Icelandic cargo company, Bluebird Nordic, explains that the company intends to close their Danish base for pilots at Copenhagen Airport. This happens just a few days after FPU sent another conflict warning to Bluebird Nordic.
The conflict should have begun on 1 May 2021, and aimed to bring Bluebird Nordic's management to the negotiating table and secure an agreement for the Danish-based cargo pilots. The conflict alert has now been suspended. This is explained by FPU's deputy chairman, Anders Mark Jensen
“Instead of negotiating some orderly terms in place for their pilots, the company chooses to relocate their base. It is a pity for the pilots that the company did not choose the negotiating route, ”explains FPU's deputy chairman, who also elaborates on the motives behind the conflict.
"We will not accept dumping terms at Copenhagen Airport, and the very suspicion that the used fake self-employed pilots has made us act decisively in this case. We will now support our European colleagues' fight for fair conditions at Bluebird Nordic, ”says Anders Mark Jensen.
