Secure Pensions                         

Dear colleagues                         

An exciting autumn is awaiting us. A slight price inflation can be seen to emerge and health insurance premiums will rise again next year. Looking at the economic situation in the industry this is a good reason for wage negotiations and pay talks with the airlines, too. Preparations are in progress.

Member Recruitment

From September until the end of December 2017 it is especially worth while recruiting new members. For each new member you’ll get

  • Fr. 50.— cash* from SEV-GATA               
  • Fr. 50.— cash* from SEV (usual cash bonus)    
  • Fr. 100.— as Reka voucher from SEV (extra bonus) valid in all Reka holiday resorts

*As soon as the first invoice has been paid by the new member, “cash”-bonuses will be transferred to the mail- or bank account in Switzerland as communicated.

Everybody can attract new members. Have the courage and ask your colleagues, whether they would help shaping your working conditions.

Secure pensions

Last but not least: Referendum September 24, 2017 – twice YES, to ensure that the pensions will remain secure (info at www.sichere-renten-ja.ch).

Thanks to your membership and our independence SEV-GATA is able to carry on supporting your legitimate claims consistently and fearlessly. We’ll keep in touch – with you!
