Dear Colleagues

Shifting of licence registration fees
On January 24th 2014 a broad anger about the change of this element of the working conditions by the Swiss arose. Trade union secretary Regula Bieri will now meet the colleagues concerned again in order to discuss further procedures.

SEV-GATA General Meeting on 21 May 2014
Please make a note already now: General meeting on May 21st 2014. In connection with the present CLA negotiations you’ll have the opportunity of discussing its status, contents and procedure together with your colleagues. It’s a must for people who care about their working conditions. Of course our get-together will be in a relaxed atmosphere and food is provided. Further info to follow.

Minimum wage petition
On May 18th persons entitled to vote in Switzerland will have the opportunity to vote on the introduction of a minimum wage. It shall be introduced, currently not below CHF 4000 per month, in order to guarantee a decent life. Today, over 300’000 employees in Switzerland gain less. In the aviation sector an above-average number of employees are concerned. The petition launched by trade unions now proposes a solution. Further information to follow.

Recruitment
In the past month, quite a number of Swiss employees have joint SEV-GATA. Apparently, our continuous effort, the resigned CLA and the various supports lead to a recruitment success. A strong representation and your personal implication is important in regard of the CLA negotiations. Benefit from this moment and convince colleagues to join our common fight for your CLA!

New person of trust
Since a few weeks, Matthias Claus is one of your persons of trust and pleased to give support. Persons of trust are important for the exchange of information between members and the trade union direction. They are just as important for the realisation of the tasks of a trade union. We wish Matthias all the best in this important function.
