Following the meeting held on 24 March 2023, the ONC accepted the case for conciliation on the ongoing CWA negotiations, which has been confirmed in writing. Please click here to read the document.
Beginning this week, the Unions were informed that Senior Management will contest the ONC’s decision at the Administrative Court. This however does not automatically stop the ONC process.
In order to continue the negotiations within the ONC process the Union requested to have meeting dates before the next meeting at the ONC, which is scheduled on 5 May 2023, to report the progress. Three dates were agreed upon and the first meeting took place on 18 April 2023 where the priority Common Claims were once again negotiated including some items that Cargolux Management had claimed. In this meeting both Unions clearly stated that the ONC process has commenced despite management`s actions that were taken.
Items that appear to have some closure are a Part-Time Scheme for ground staff, and from management claims Single Day Sick Leave and Unfair Dismissal.
Unfortunately, management is refusing any counter proposal on a Salary Increase including Index Protection and Job Security that includes the future re-fleeting, Cargolux Italia and potential outsourcing due to restructuring of the Cargo Center in Luxembourg.
The next meetings are scheduled on 28 April 2023 to discuss Pilot specific claims and 2 May 2023 for the Ground Staff related claims.
