Employee Organization Parat fighting pilots struggle against English in the ongoing strike.
– Switch the rules
Thursday afternoon informed Kjos that Scandinavian pilots are divided into three new subsidiary, a Swedish, a Danish and a Norwegian company.
It gets Parat see red:
– As an employer, he has no authority to decide over workers who are on strike. This emerges as an attempt to circumvent the entire right to strike, said Parat leader Hans-Erik Skjæggerud.
The pilots believe Kjos violate the law by splitting pilots in wood.
– Kjos do this without informing, discuss or otherwise follow the rules of the Working Environment Act. Kjos does not relate to rules that do not fit he said Skjæggerud.
Legal safe ground
Kjos believes airlines follow all rules to the letter.
– We break whatsoever playing rules. They have exactly the same rights as they had before. We have had legal expertise into this. I have no opportunity to consider the legal itself, but we have received a clear message that we are on safe ground legally, says Kjos.
He justifies rift with the Norwegian, Danish and Swedish pilots are completely different.
– There are large parts of the conflict they will not be in, says Kjos.
New bargaining
Employment Lawyer and lecturer, Thomas Benson confirms that Norwegian has everything on it clean.
– They have full access to do this. This is a so-called undertakings, where pilots will be offered jobs in the new company. Then apply the same wages and working conditions, but only for a short period, says Benson.
He says Kjos shortly will probably say that the current collective agreement should not be extended, and thus enter new talks on wages and costs.
– Kjos will probably start new bargaining with pilots shortly, says Benson.
He says negotiating situation could become easier for Kjos, when the counterparty is now split into three, thus weakened as a group. But the message is clearly not well received by Parat.
– Now it’s war. It has been used very and extremely strong expression today, which is completely unknown in Norwegian labor law, says Benson.
Will fewer and alone
Professor of Economics at NHH, Frode Steen said Kjos have full opportunity to share pilots in wood, but that it necessarily will not assist in the ongoing strike.
– Collaboration Climate between pilots and management after the split will be terribly difficult, says Steen.
He says Kjos disposing of parts of the “problem” by dividing the pilots up in a Swedish, a Danish and a Norwegian company.
– They are fewer and alone. It is perhaps clever of English because there are different perceptions among pilots, but I do not think Kjos get it easier to agree with the Norwegian pilots of the reason, says Steen.
He says you probably would not seen such a growing Norwegian company without the model the company has conducted for several years.
– They have had bases there, kept costs down and expanded violently. We had not seen the emergence if English only had Scandinavian pilots, he said.
Large strike continues Friday and again almost 35,000 passengers will be affected.
