Recommendation for Vote

Dear members,

A warm welcome to the great number of new members who have joined us from Zurich. In addition to a comprehensive representation in individual problems SEV-GATA is backing its members also in collective questions, whether they need explaining, implementing or adjusting. It's worth exchanging ideas in an open atmosphere. Thank you for your confidence.

CLA LTSW – concluded
Since October 1, 2009 the CLA has been in force at LTSW.

CLA Swiss / CLA LTSW: Ensure its application
To make sure that the collective labour agreement is applied we depend on your feedback. Please inform us immediately if any problems arise or if any items of the agreement are not properly implemented. We will be pleased to help you and ensure the CLA is applied. We need your feedback to keep us informed of any kind of demand in the individual sectors, so we know where to make any adjustments in our next negotiations.

Membership fee: Deducted from wages
The performance costs of CHF 12.00 plus the membership fee of CHF 16.00 will be de-ducted directly from the October wages. (Of course only for members who haven't yet transferred their contributions until the end of the year). From 1 January 2010 we'll stop sending invoices for payment of the membership fees to the members subject to the CLA's of Swiss and LTSW, except they expressly want it. This way we can simplify the payment of the fees as requested by many of our members.

SEV-GATA: Calendar 2010
This year again SEV-GATA will distribute the popular 2010 calendar. Anyone who would like to help us distributing, please mail to

Recommendation for voting
SEV-GATA recommends to those colleagues entitled to vote in Switzerland on 29 November 2009 to say yes to the government's decision of making special funds available for air transport tasks.

With committed regards,
SEV-GATA, your aviation union!
Philipp Hadorn, president
