Staff of ASL Aviation Belgium call off threat to strike at Liege airport
STAFF of ASL Aviation Belgium (ex-TNT Airways) have withdrawn their threat to go on strike at Liege airport in the run up to Christmas, after an agreement was reached between management and unions.
The airline serves FedEx-TNT's Liege hub with 40 aircraft serving 65 airports daily, mostly operating on intra-European routes.
Last week, staff unions issued a strike call covering the peak period up to Christmas, in protest at what they described as "deteriorating relations" with management since the sale of TNT Airways company to the Dublin-based aviation group earlier this year, reported Lloyd's Loading List.
"ASL Airlines Belgium is pleased to confirm that there will be no disruption to its services as the notice of possible strike action has been withdrawn," the group said in a statement. "This follows the signing of an accord between the airline and trade unions following conciliation talks."
A spokesman for SECT, a trade union representing the airline's personnel at Liege airport, added: "We've reached agreement on a number of issues: pilot training, the procedures for promotion within the company, work regulations and union representation."
