Dear colleagues
As always, your union SEV-GATA has plenty of work to do this year. Important collective negotiations obviously require many resources. Further, there are also many individual cases of legal protection which helped our members claim their rights.

Swiss pays salaries in retrospect and a new wage system is being negotiated!
A general wage measure for all wages below CHF 5‘000 per month has been negotiated as of 1 January 2018.
A member drew our attention to the following fact: A group of roughly eight members received a pay raise in autumn of 2017. However, Swiss did not grant them the raise of CHF 70.- per month, even though their salaries were still below CHF 5‘000.- After our intervention, Swiss has now agreed: There will be retroactive payments as of 1 January 2018. It does pay off to have your union fight for your interests!
The task force responsible for the development of the new wage system according to the statement of intent for the CLA 2018 has started operating. Their task is clear: “The parties pledge to propose – by the end of 2018 – a wage system with clearly regulated and transparent criteria for wage development (such as experience, qualifications, performance, age), also within wage bands and, if applicable, with exceptional criteria.“ We will keep you updated. Further information to follow.
Swissport ZRH – Preparations for CLA negotiations in progress
Visits at the workplace and our “hot-dog-event“ have led to interesting encounters with our members and discussions about the upcoming CLA negotiations. Meanwhile, the schedule for the negotiations has been set up. Further information to follow.
1 May – Equal pay!
«Equal pay. Period.» is the motto of this year’s Labour Day activities. You can find more detailed information concerning regional activities in regional newspapers or in publications from trade union confederations.
But first things first: Register now for the General Meeting on 17 May 2018. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
