Unions seek support of IFALPA over Cargolux pilots' dispute
THE Association Luxembourgeoise des Pilotes de Ligne (ALPL) and the Luxembourg Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (LCGB) are jointly seeking assistance and cooperation from the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Association (IFALPA) as the threat of Cargolux pilots going on strike looms closer.
The pilots said they have made concessions, but claim that management has only countered with more demands since the negotiations between the pilots and Cargolux began in September 2014, reported Air Cargo World.
The present collective agreement, which was cancelled by airline's management, is due to expire on December 1. On or after that date, the pilots would be ordered not to fly and to ground their aircraft, unless a new agreement is signed. A vote on November 2 showed that 94 per cent of the pilots were in favour of industrial action.
The ALPL and LCGB members want IFALPA to be supportive when asked by their airlines to provide additional flights to meet the capacity demands created by a dispute at Cargolux.
