Collective negotiations at Tuifly fail – warning strikes?
There is already an agreement for the two largest professional groups at Tuifly, the pilots and the cabin staff. In the collective bargaining for the employees on the ground, however.
The collective bargaining for the airline Tuifly’s floor staff failed. The Verdi union therefore announced that it would prepare warning strikes. Verdi said you will decide which airports should take place at shortly.
“All Tuifly (…) employees work with high commitment to the reliability and punctuality of the TUI flyers,” said Deputy Verdi Chairman Christine Behle. “You deserve appreciation and respect from your employers.”
This respect is missed in the ongoing negotiations, Behle criticized. The employer’s side has withdrawn and worsened offers.
Low effects in warning strike
With a warning strike, there is only a low impact, according to industry circles. Around 320 employees work for Tuifly on the ground.
A mantel collective agreement has been negotiated since last summer, and since January there has also been a new remuneration agreement. Verdi demands more money, relief in shift work and a revision of the groupings in order to better appreciate qualifications. From employee circles it is said that the employees are primarily concerned with an increase in wages – and less about structural changes.
Tuifly sees good chances for agreement
Around two weeks ago, Tuifly and Verdi agreed for the cabin workers in the tariff round. “In the past few weeks, the parties to the collective agreement have often proven that they can come to sustainable compromises even in a difficult environment,” said Behle.
The employer asked Verdi to return to the negotiating table. One was confident that they can find a compromise together, said a TUI spokesman.
