Cybersecurity Testing
Since already more than one year the IT Department is sending test emails to employees that consist of false phishing emails, which should be reacted on accordingly.
As all employees are affected by these tests, the issue was taken up by the Delegation and discussed with Senior Management already in the Joint Delegation Meeting back in December 2021. In that meeting a representative of the IT Department stated, that educating and increasing the sensibility of all employees regarding this matter is one of their top priorities. Unfortunately, management was not willing to stop sending test email
Whilst cybersecurity is indeed important and of common interest, we generally disapprove procedures of artificial traps that are being applied. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to prevent management form sending testing emails. We recommend to forward any email you think could be a spam or phishing attempt, preferably via the hoxhunt app available in the MS Outlook app on your company provided iPad or via email to cybersec@cargolux.com.
Company Email
In a recent email from the CV IT Department, employees have been made aware of changes on the procedures all employees must follow if they intend to use private mobile phones to access the company’s IT systems, including accessing your company email account only via the MS Outlook app.
Due to the communicated restrictions, the associated complexity and therefore possible high error rate we strongly recommend removing the Cargolux email account from all private devices, if you don’t want to use the mandatory MS Outlook app. In case of any doubt it may be best not to use a private device to access Cargolux related websites and applications including your Cargolux email account.
We also recommend using the company provided iPad only for any duty related tasks and to only switch it on when required, e.g. before starting a Duty Period. Please click here to read the iPad policy for more information.
CWA Negotiations
In our last members update concerning the CWA negotiations we mentioned that both Unions have decided to involve the Office National de Conciliation (ONC) in the current labor negotiations. This move is a step foreseen in the Luxembourgish labor law to solve the impasse and to find an acceptable agreement within a certain time. Additionally, involving the ONC is a legal prerequisite before industrial action could be called by a Union in Luxembourg.
We keep you informed about any further developments. Until the first meeting at the ONC takes place, no further meetings will be held between management and the Unions. The first meeting at the ONC must take place within 6 weeks of sending the request to the ONC.
Index Increase
The increase of the annual inflation rate in January 2023 triggered a new indexation. Thus, the new sliding scale index of 898,93 points (old index: 877,01 points) came into force on 1 February 2023, resulting in a 2,5% increase in wages, salaries, and pensions. You should have seen that salary increase on your February salary slip.
The next index increase of 2,5% is foreseen in April 2023. This is the increase that was postponed last year in August following the national tripartite.
Cargolux Refleeting Survey
We would like to thank you for having completed the recent Cargolux Refleeting Survey. More than 90% of our members took part in this survey, which gives us solid data of what will be important for our members in the future refleeting process.
We are also glad that your input is backing up our arguments and claims that we already brought up in the negotiations in this context, which confirms our initial assessment of what our members expect. We will continue to represent your interests in the negotiations and strive for an agreement that reflects your expectations.
