the evening paper ask the employer to a representative of the Service sector employers PALTA the association:from data controllers.
Palta ceo Thomas Aarton according to the flight leaders of the 12 months, total average earnings, which also contains additional and overtime, is 8 to 130 euros per month and regular working hours, the average earnings without additional and overtime pay is 7 818 per month.
the Largest average total earnings has been Aarton, about 11 500 euros.
air traffic controllers ‘ working hours are Aarton, according to the Helsinki-vantaa with an average of 33 hours a week and the rest of the country by 35.5-36.5 hours a week.
Vacation time is 6 weeks a year and 15 years after working for 7.5 weeks.
Above the general line or not?
Air traffic controllers are today on strike for two hours at 15-17 during the period. Palta, during the strike of air traffic can be handled in the superior power and other arrangements.
Aarto does not want the public to go to open the mediation of things it more accurately,.
– But in the big picture the situation is as I see it, that the text – and wage demands would mean going over this contract round with the general line.
the Last wage round, the general line has been that wages rose by 3.2 per cent to 24 per month.
– in addition to The table is so big issues of principle, that their treatment of this round of negotiations is simply not possible, Aarto said.
It’s what we cried, is that the realism of the game and the fact that air traffic controllers would be able to prioritize and build their own goals so that they are of a quality that they can do something, Aarto more.
Aarton the employer has offered a number of general line solutions for the air traffic controllers for the last fair of the year, but the workers party is ”systematically” rejected them all.
– It’s the reason we’re still in that situation, that there is no agreement, Aarto said.
workers party denies
Finnish air traffic controllers ‘ president and chief negotiator, Roy Myrberg to deny the employer’s claims in practice through the pool.
myrberg, according to the air traffic controllers salary requirement is a general line, i.e. 3.2%.
we Have applied a two-year contract and the same general increase that others have received. But such an offer from the us has not come, Myrberg said.
?
– So as I said, as 3.2 per cent two years has been the starting point and no such offers have come yet. In that sense, a little surprised.
?
– Yes. Not sure I’d in this negotiation, if the disagreement would not be.
– we Have a few times attracted by the employer back to the negotiating table, and industrial action is a last resort, to ensure that we get to mediation and genuinely suitable. Options no just missed.
the flight leaders and the employer of controversy is last week’s attempt to solve the kingdom of the mediator of the chair.
.
– Well, they are certainly their superiors salaries, supervisors who are on duty today.
– we Have used the negotiations to the sum (the average), which is a hair over 6 000. It is agreed between us, what is it’s average and it has been used in the negotiations, but Aarto now joined the negotiations only a few days ago. He is clearly a different perception.
?
Well, it’s a little more than 6,000 euros at the moment.
?
– he probably told it yourself. We have had many meetings with the employer and such understanding we have reached as an average.
the evening paper asked about the matter again Aartola.
– That Roy referred to by number (little more than eur 6 000) is just a table of wages in average. What I have reported regular working hours, the salary includes the all piece rate duration of work, the compensation paid, therefore, without any additional work and overtime, i.e. table of salary in addition to also shift differentials and Sunday supplements. Work is shift work and it is done regularly including Sundays, Aarto said.
And that what I have reported, total earnings is what the controllers are really made as a whole, i.e. including the additional and overtime work.
– So the flight leaders only speak of the table of wages, but they are working in shifts only part of the truth. Apparently, air traffic controllers want to get the chapter to look as small as possible. Our figures and concepts are right, because they are based on real data the last 12 months.
?
– the starting salaries are approximately 3 000 euros. Estonia starting salaries are 400-500 euros higher than in Finland. We are well behind.
?
– It very much depends on the outlet, but might be 3 500 million category. Others will go to more than 4 000. It depends entirely on the office and its opening hours.
?
– Can they in some cases go depending on the training and the specific tasks that come with the normal operational work in addition to.
?
we don’t have any unrealistic demands. Yes they have been like a normal tes-things. The text has been changed to some extent. Some are such who are in the employer affordable and some that are employee preferred. Normal collective agreement on our mind.
?
I would Argue that the text things were practically already agreed with the employer, but now the Defender believes that they either no longer fit, when conciliation did not achieve a breakthrough. In that sense, we are back to the starting point.
– But I’m sure things before or later will be solved, Myrberg said.
quarrel over has a long history.
Stops the background there is a long negotiation process.
air traffic controllers ‘ collective bargaining agreement expired 30.11.2017, which after a sector has been no agreement.
Negotiations began in October 2017.
Overtime – and shift the ban will start in early 2018.
the workers party left the last christmas strike announcement. Notification after the process was transferred to the kingdom of the mediator’s office.
Defender, and the Finnish air traffic controllers association SLJY between labour disputes was fitted last Thursday, chaired by the national conciliator.
