The trade unions OGBL and LCGB have called on the help of the national mediation office after negotiations with Lux-Airport for a new collective working agreement failed.
The trade unions OGBL and LCGB have called on the help of the national mediation office after negotiations with Lux-Airport for a new collective working agreement failed. According to the unions, management deliberately delayed talks and refused to implement a 1% wage increase per year, despite a 3.7 million euro profit in 2012 and rising visitor numbers for the past two years. The unions also object to demands for a more flexible calculation of working hours, as this would leave employees at the beck and call of Lux-Airport.
