Yesterday we published management’s ‘final’ proposal which is the result of an extensive negotiation process where the LCGB negotiation team did its upmost to deliver on the claims ALPL members were demanding. As management refuses to move from their current position, it is now time for every member to decide for themselves if this package is acceptable or not.
Should the proposal be found acceptable by our members, then work will begin preparing the actual CWA text for signing. If the proposal is rejected, the Union will request non-conciliation from the ONC and industrial action will be organized.
Please be aware that a ‘reject’ vote is simultaneously a vote for strike. To move down this path, LCGB statutes require that at least 90% of the members participate in voting and 75% must indicate that they reject the proposal. For the pilots, all ALPL members are automatically part of the LCGB and only ALPL members can vote.
You will receive an invitation to the online vote (done via SurveyMonkey) by a separate email shortly.
If your choice in this vote is to reject the package you will be asked to indicate which two points you find unacceptable before submitting your vote. This will give the Union some indication which parts must improve should the pressure of an imminent strike compel management to amend their offer. You must know that at this stage any desired improvements to the package would only be possible through industrial action!
As the ALPL Board, we do not recommend how to vote either way but do feel it is important to point out in neutral fashion the pros and cons to management’s ‘final’ proposal. Please click here to read about these pros and cons.
If you have any questions please send us an email at cvboard@alpl.lu or check the members‘ forum on the ALPL website, where you will find answers to questions raised by our members.
