The pilots of Brussels Airlines will vote in the coming days on the final proposal of the management regarding their salaries and pensions. If the proposal was to be rejected, “strong actions” are not excluded, said the unions on Wednesday.
The social conflict within the largest Belgian airline has been going on for some time. According to Paul Buekenhout of the LBC-NVK trade union, the remuneration of the Brussels Airlines pilots is lower than that of other airlines. They also contest the retirement age at 67.
Management made a final proposal and presented it to the pilots. Their decision will be known on May 2nd. In case of refusal, actions will be quickly organised. “We will then introduce a strike notice and we will organise strong actions,” adds Paul Buekenhout. Some 500 pilots work at Brussels Airlines.
