Zero tolerance flights at Cargolux beginning 6th of January
Cargolux pilots will begin a Zero Tolerance campaign beginning 6th of January
In answer to the deadlock in the Collective Work Agreement negotiations, Cargolux pilots are planning a Zero Tolerance campaign starting on the 6th of January.
Since 1999 Cargolux management has evaded entering negotiations for a new Collective Work agreement. With large investments planned for the coming years Cargolux has finally deemed it necessary to start discussions on a new Collective Work Agreement. Simply put the company has asked the pilots to finance part of these investments.
The company has not heeded the pilots’ claims regarding safety, rest time and social issues and has attempted to impose a new CWA text that degrades already unsustainable working conditions.
Faced with an unacceptable and final “non-negotiable” offer and the refusal to enter serious negotiations, the pilots representative association (ALPL, see
www.alpl.lu) has elected to start a Zero Tolerance campaign in order to find an acceptable solution to the social conflict.
