Geneva, 24 May 2011. Skyguide and the two staff associations representing the
company's administrative, operational and technical (AOT) personnel formally
signed a new Collective Labour Agreement today. The new accord, which follows
extensive negotiations between skyguide and the associations' committees, was
approved by association members at the end of last month.
The members of the staff associations syndicom and VPOD (Verband des Personals
öffentlicher Dienste, the public service employees' union) accepted the proposed
new Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) for AOT personnel at the end of April by
clear majorities. The resulting accord will be valid for five years. In
concluding the new CLA, the social partners agreed that:
* Skyguide's AOT personnel will now enjoy a guaranteed annual inflation-based
salary adjustment, together with a small real-terms salary increase
effective 1 March 2012.
* The maximum salaries earnable have been slightly reduced for all salary
bands. This in turn will limit increases in the company's total salary
amounts.
* In return, AOT personnel will enjoy two additional days of annual vacation
from 2011, and a third from 2013. The new increased annual vacation
entitlement compensates the employees concerned for the lower salary trends
that will result from the above salary band adjustments.
* The variable performance-based salary component is now linked to the
achievement of company performance targets.
* Paternity leave has been increased from two to ten days.
The new CLA and its annexes enter into retroactive effect from 1 March 2011.
"We are very pleased with this new Collective Labour Agreement for our AOT
personnel," confirms Robert Stadler, Head of Engineering & Technical Services
and leader of the skyguide CLA negotiating team. "With this new accord, the
social partners have reached an agreement that is beneficial to both our
employees and our company as a whole. And this strong social partnership,
together with the long-term nature of our personnel policy, will provide us with
the soundest of foundations from which to tackle the challenges ahead."
