Airline Tuifly Strikes Averted After Wage Agreement for Ground Staff
In a recent development, airline Tuifly has reached a wage agreement with its ground staff, averting planned strikes at Tui locations across Germany. The United Services Trade Union announced the cancellation of the warning strikes following constructive negotiations.
The union's key demands focused on higher wages and improved conditions for the approximately 320 ground staff members. According to the agreement, a retroactive 3% pay rise will be implemented from January 1, 2025. An additional 2.8% increase will follow from January 1, 2026. Details regarding the effective date for the second salary increase are yet to be disclosed.
A notable improvement will also be made in shift work conditions, with specifics yet to be revealed. As part of the agreement, employees working night shifts may receive up to five extra vacation days a year. Furthermore, Christmas bonuses will be significantly increased from the current €500 to €2,000.
Tui, the parent company, expressed their satisfaction with the ongoing discussions, emphasizing that the agreement ensures smooth flight operations for the foreseeable future. Both parties have already reached agreements on wage negotiations for pilots and cabin crew.
The renewed harmony between Tuifly and its ground staff is a significant step towards maintaining the airline's regular operations in Hannover and across Germany. The agreeable resolution to the wage negotiations underscores the desire for stable, fair, and productive work conditions within the aviation industry.
The community policy for the aviation industry will likely see an update as a result of the recent wage agreement between Tuifly and its ground staff, focusing on employee welfare and fair compensation. To maintain balance, further discussions may be held for vocational training programs in the finance, transportation, and surrounding business sectors to ensure industry standard competence.
