The company, having made demands equivalent to tearing up the current labour agreement, and offering conditions in some respects worse than those "enjoyed" by hired (contract ) pilots, it is not surprising that negotiations with the Scandinavian based pilots are progressing in the cordial manner so beloved of NAS.
"As a result of the breakdown in the CLA negotiations for the Scandinavian pilots, a collective resignation was sent today, February 9, 2015 by Parat (the parent organisation where NPU is a member). This is a serious step in which NPU commits to go on strike should a solution not be obtained in the conflict.
The company and NPU now enters forced mediation with the state mediator. The parts will be called within two days and the mediation will then go on for a maximum of 14 days. If no agreement has been made by Feb 25th, NPU has the possibility to engage all current NAN pilots that are NPU members (per Feb 9th) in a strike."
