Information Manager Lasse Sandakerveien-Nielsen says that the company will insert pilots from other airlines companies in Finland and Spain to cover up for those who may go on strike.
– Only 35 of the 70 possibly being taken out Saturday morning, working on the weekend. The other 35 will we be able to cover up for by inserting pilots from our subsidiaries in Finland and Spain, says Sandakerveien-Nielsen told NRK.
-Streikebryteri
But that prepares English on hiring crew from the second country looks associated for pilots as problematic.
Parat leader Hans-Erik Skjæggerud like bad Norwegian plans to insert pilots from abroad during any strike.
– If correct, it will by Parat opinion be regarded as strikebreaking. In addition, it will upset the duty of loyalty and respect for fundamental rights and rules as the main agreement between the social partners is based, says Hans-Erik Skjæggerud leader in YS-associated Parat in a statement.
But English believes that hiring pilots from other countries is completely natural.
-When subsidiary our can not deliver the services that they normally do it is quite natural for us that we ask to get the services delivered from the second slekspaer in English family, says Sandakerveien-Nielsen told NRK.
Parat alerts support actions basis abroad.
– If it becomes strike and management in English actually conducts such hiring, it will be implemented sympathy actions with support from a number of aviation employees. Pilot Association in Sweden has already announced that they will sympathize and the same could include cabin crew in Norway and Denmark, says Skjæggerud.
contention core
Federation and Federation of Norwegian Aviation has negotiated for three months without agreeing on a deal for the pilots. Thus they ended up on national mediator Nils Dalseide office at 10 Thursday morning. Daleide called mediation difficult.
The dispute is about more than wages. While the company will have pay freeze, cuts in pensions and cuts of costly insurance is important pilots claim that they get a new collective agreement with what they call a “real employer”. They want a collective agreement with the parent company Norwegian Air Shuttle, and not with Norwegian Air Norway which they perceive as a “cardboard company.”
If the parties reach an agreement, the strike from Saturday morning.
According to NTB fear both pilot association and main organization Parat that English-Bjørn Kjos reply to a possible strike by allowing pilots formal employer, Norwegian Air Norway, go bankrupt.
A possible strike it last English need. English went with more than 1 billion in losses last year. By comparison, the company had a profit of 322 million the year before.
