Pre-agreement signed between Belgian air traffic controllers and the management of skeyes. Unions disagree!

During the social consultation on Tuesday 26 March, skeyes management said that a pre-agreement had been signed with the unions on the following points:

• The social agreement that took place last Friday in the joint committee will be respected.
• Union actions are stopped.
• A conciliator will be appointed for night shifts. This point was included in the strike notice but was not the subject of a decision in Friday’s agreement. The discussion deals with the question of whether a night shift counts for a day of work or two.
• The judicial proceedings in progress on this discussion are stopped.

It is now up to the unions to confirm this pre-agreement, said skeyes.

But ACV/CSC-Transcom union asks the Minister of Labour to nominate a mediator for all points of disagreement. “As long as the full set of negotiations is not clear, actions will not be stopped.” The liberal trade union VSOA/CGSLB supports that call and continues to with the actions. The socialist ACOD/CGSP is not on strike.
