On 31 July 2018 the CEO sent an email to all staff stating that, pending further notice, no negotiation meetings for a new CWA will be scheduled. This decision stands in conflict with the initial communicated commitment from management to pursue smooth and efficient negotiations and consequently leaves us highly sceptical about the true intention behind this decision.
Additionally, the Unions are still waiting to receive the data, which was requested in the very first negotiation meeting on 13 June 2018, as foreseen by the law. It is hard to believe that this general information cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame by the management of one of the biggest all cargo carriers in the world.
The LCGB hence decided to send another letter highlighting the need to commit to the negotiation meetings in the near future as well as a reminder to provide the Unions with the information, which was requested already in June.

We are in close contact with the LCGB and will keep you informed about the next steps.
