On Norwegian radio: SAS management has blocked the company phones of those SAS pilots who are union leaders. SAS management has apparently also taken down the company website for the pilots.
The papers write that the ex Braathes (now part of SASBraathens) work as usual, while it's the ex SAS pilots who are reporting that due to the extreme unrest and instability, they are not fit for flight.
They are for example not faking influenza.
In the Norwegian system, an employee can be legally off sick for 3 days on a "egenmelding", a 'self declaration'. After 3 days, the employee has to get a sickie from their regular GP. An employee can be called in to the company medics.
According to a SAS pilot I spoke with today, the crux is that the company has suddenly and without negotiation decided to change the employment contarcts for the pilots. From being employed by SAS international (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian company) SAS now wants to employ their pilots by national entities.
