Kære medlem
Vi har nu endelig afholdt fællesmøderne mellem FH og selskabet angående de to sager “transporttillægget” og “forsinket check-in“. Fællesmøderne foregik hos Dansk Arbejdsgiverforbund (DA), hvor FH og DA var parter i sagen sammen med NCR DK, Dansk Industri (DI), FPU og NCUD.
Vi har tidligere skrevet en artikel om den fagretlige proces for overenskomstbrud samt for fortolkning af overenskomsten. Artiklen kan tilgås ved at klikke på dette link.
Desværre kunne der ikke opnås enighed i sagerne og de vil nu blive ført videre i arbejdsretten. Sagsbehandlingstiden er dog lang og denne proces forventer vi ikke nogen afgørelse på foreløbig.
Selskabet foreslog at løse sagen om forsinket check-in ved at påføre en intern delay kode i Crewlink, som vil medføre at crew får min. 60 min c/i. NCUD mener dette kun løser den ene del af problemet (retten til 60 min check-in), mens dette kan medføre andre problemer og overenskomstbrud (24-timers omscheduleringsreglen, 12-timers reglen samt c/o sidste arbejdsdag). Samtidig vil det påføre uhensigtsmæssig forsinkelse på de resterende crew, som er mødt ind til tiden. Vi kunne derfor ikke acceptere, at indgå en sådan aftale.
Selskabet har også foreslået, at have en liste med minimum turnaround tider på alle flyvninger og såfremt et forkortet c/i ville medføre en reduktion i disse minimum turnaround tider, skulle den enkelte crew pilles af. NCUD mener, at dette forslag medfører nogle andre problemer, bl.a. risikerer vi at skulle løbe hurtigere på kortere tid. Vi er af den opfattelse, at vores medlemmer allerede løber så stærkt vi kan og risikoen er endvidere, at selskabet lige pludselig opfinder nye, kortere turnaround tider som en ny standard. Samtidig kan vi ikke kontrollere denne liste og selskabet kan ændre i den som de ønsker – sådan aftale vil derfor ikke gavne nogen medlemmer, tværtimod.
NCUD foreslog som en sidste udvej, at give den enkelte medarbejder selvbestemmelse over, om man ønsker at c/i maksimalt 10 min. senere mod en HDB kompensation. Ved denne løsning er det den enkelte crew som bestemmer, om man kan acceptere at bryde overenskomsten og c/i maksimalt 10 min senere, således crew og fly forhåbentlig kan gå til tiden og minimum hvile på hjemmebase overholdes, samt resten af besætningen holdes “skadeløs”. Dette forslag afviste selskabet blankt og henviser til at, man ikke kommer til at acceptere nogen form for kompensation for frivillig reduceret c/i, da dette strider mod helt grundlæggende principper.
NCUD er overrasket over denne udmelding, da vi ved at andre foreninger har lignende ordninger.
Dear member
We have now finally held the joint meetings between FH and the company regarding the two cases, “the transport allowance” and “delayed check-in.” The meetings took place at the Dansk Arbejdsgiverforbund (DA), where FH and DA were parties to the case along with NCR DK, the Dansk Industri (DI), FPU, and NCUD.
We previously wrote an article about the industrial dispute process for breaches and interpretations of the collective agreement. The article can be accessed by clicking on this link.
Unfortunately, no agreement was reached in these cases, and they will now proceed to the Labour Court. However, the case processing time is long, and we do not expect a ruling in the near future.
The company proposed resolving the delayed check-in issue by adding an internal delay code in Crewlink, which would ensure that crew members receive a minimum of 60 minutes check-in time. NCUD believes that this only solves one part of the problem (the right to a 60-minute check-in), while potentially causing other issues and collective agreement violations (the 24-hour rescheduling rule, the 12-hour rule, and check-out on the last working day). Additionally, it would cause unnecessary delays for the remaining crew members who arrived on time. Therefore, we could not accept such an agreement.
The company also proposed maintaining a list of minimum turnaround times for all flights. If a shortened check-in would reduce these minimum turnaround times, the individual crew member would be removed from the flight. NCUD believes that this proposal introduces other problems, including the risk of increased workload in a shorter time frame. We believe that our members are already working at their maximum capacity, and there is also a risk that the company could suddenly introduce new, shorter turnaround times as a new standard. Furthermore, we would have no control over this list, and the company could change it at will. Such an agreement would therefore not benefit any members—on the contrary.
As a last resort, NCUD proposed allowing individual employees to decide whether they wish to check in up to 10 minutes later in exchange for an HDB compensation. With this solution, it would be up to each crew member to determine whether they can accept breaking the collective agreement and checking in a maximum of 10 minutes later. This would ideally ensure that the crew and aircraft remain on schedule, minimum rest at the home base is upheld, and the rest of the crew is not negatively affected. The company flatly rejected this proposal, stating that they would not accept any form of compensation for voluntarily reduced check-in, as this goes against fundamental principles.
NCUD is surprised by this statement, as we are aware that other unions have similar arrangements.
