Deuxième grève avortée pour la GdF ...

EDDU

Comme nous l'annonçait Claude hier, la deuxième tentative de mouvement social initié par la GdF a été avortée. En effet, après avoir été autorisée par le juge contrarement à celle de la semaine dernière, elle est abandonnée suite au recours par la DFS à un médiateur. 

Etait ce le but du syndicat ? Pas facile de savoir. Comme il est diffcile de savoir les dessous de cette agitation allemande. Alors que la presse ne parle que des salaires des contrôleurs, GdF iniste sur le fait qu'elle veut des augmentations pour tous les personnels DFS, qu'elle se bat contre l'abandon de l'attribution des postes et des primes à l'ancieneté mais aussi contre un système obligatoire d'heures supplémentaires.

Et pour finir le communiqué patronal :

DFS calls in arbitrator in industrial dispute with GdF 


9 August 2011.- To avoid acting irresponsibly and causing the situation to escalate, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH has invoked the joint dispute resolution procedure and called in an arbitrator in its dispute with the air navigation services union (GdF). As a result, the strike called by the union for Tuesday will not take place. 


"By calling in an arbitrator, DFS has prevented a strike by the air traffic controllers which would have resulted in severe problems and immense economic damage for travellers and airlines," said Jens Bergmann, Managing Director Finance and Human Resources at DFS. 

Prior to this, DFS had tried to prohibit the strike by means of an interim injunction as DFS regards certain strike demands as illegal. Neither the labour court in Frankfurt nor the higher labour court of Hesse shared this legal opinion. "We regret that the court, while acting under an emergency procedure, did not agree with our legal opinion which found essential strike demands illegal," said Bergmann. "In the interest of the airlines and passengers concerned, the joint dispute resolution procedure is the only way to get the GdF to return to the negotiating table." 

By initiating a joint dispute resolution procedure, an arbitration commission is summoned which consists of representatives of the parties to the collective agreement and is headed by an impartial chairperson. The arbitrator will be Prof Volker Rieble, an expert on labour law from Munich. The direct result of the initiated joint dispute resolution procedure is the peace obligation: This means that there will be no strike by air traffic controllers during the coming weeks. 

In the current bargaining round, DFS submitted an impressive offer which includes a gradual salary increase of approximately 6% by October 2013. The trade union, however, is insisting on a salary increase of 6.5% and the reintroduction of fixed career paths that ignore personal performance. Due to immense cost pressure resulting from EU regulations which will come into effect in 2012, these demands are not justifiable economically. 

"Our goal is to secure the entrepreneurial freedom and competiveness of DFS in the future, even as conditions change. For this reason, we need a collective agreement that retains a sense of proportion," said Jens Bergmann. "We hope that within the scope of the joint dispute resolution procedure, the GdF will distance themselves from their highest demands and cooperate with us on how to adjust our capacities to meet higher traffic demands in the short term and fulfil EU regulations at the same time." 

In contrast to many other sectors, the income of DFS employees has increased significantly over the past bargaining rounds by about 8%, despite the fact that traffic volume has only just recently re-attained the level of 2008. There was neither short-time work nor pay freezes as there were in other industries."
