Susanne Hessellund was a pilot and regular employee in 2002 helping to use blockages and strikes at Esbjerg Airport to get an agreement. It is a double standard, says the unions of the pilots.
Susanne Hessellund, the founder of the helicopter company Bel Air, flies in some turbulence in the wake of the case of two pilots allegedly fired because they wanted a joint agreement through the pilot's union, the Airline's Personal Union, FPU.
Earlier, four trade unions in Esbjerg sent a statement of support to the pilots in Bel Air, and now FPU also draws Susanne Hessellund's past into the battle.
Bel Air founder has previously announced that a majority of pilots in Bel Air do not want a collective agreement at all, but also Bel Air's management and Susanne Hessellund have stated that they do not want to enter into negotiations with the FPU nor want to draw An agreement because instead you have local agreements that are equal to or better than the agreement in the field.
But for 15 years, Susanne Hessellund had a completely different perception of professional organization and collective agreements. In 2002, the Bel Air founder was employed as a pilot at the helicopter company CHC in Esbjerg Airport, and according to FPU, she was one of the pioneers in a comprehensive professional conflict as deputy chairman of the pilot's professional association.
According to the FPU, Susanne Hessellund co-existed with the then chairman of the pilots' association in the lead of 24 pilots. Wanted a limit of 800 flight hours. In doing so, they caught the FPU in order to work towards an agreement, but the employer CHC would not give up an inch, and then a decision was made to set hard against hard.
This resulted in a strike and extensive physical blockade at Esbjerg Airport where employees on the North Sea oil platform could not fly to and from their work. Apparently Susanne Hessellund shed all the way to blocking a gate down to the helicopter company, and when the pilots ended their agreement, Susanne Hessellund was at a private party victory.
- Susanne Hessellund played a key role in the use of strikes and blockades in order to get a joint agreement. It is possible that it is 15 years ago, but I honestly think it cries to the sky with double standards. She has obviously completely forgotten what it was like to be a regular employee today, where she is sitting at the table end in her own company, says Anders Mark Jensen, Vice President of the FPU.
No comment
Susanne Hessellund, through his chairman, lawyer Jan G. Børjesson, states that she has no comment on the link between her role in the labor dispute in 2002 and the current collective agreement.
- Bel Air or Susanne Hessellund have no comments on events that occurred more than 15 years ago and more than seven years before Bel Air launched offshore flights, informs the Chairman of the Board in a written comment to the newspaper.
