190 cabin employees at the SAS airline does its own union Union. The reason is that the association negotiated away their earned pension money in crisis settlement in November 2012.
SAS cabin personnel are on the warpath against their own union, Union. In conjunction with SAS crisis agreement with pilots and cabin crew in November 2012 signed a new collective agreement between SAS and the Union. The agreement meant that the cabin crew lost a large portion of their pension money.
According to the lawyer Ulf Öberg, representing the 190 flight attendants want to have the issue determined if the Union breached its jurisdiction as a union.
Ad:
– It is not reasonable that workers must turn to a lawyer to take advantage of their accrued pension rights, which is one of the union’s core functions to both defend and respect, he said.
In the lawsuit submitted in the Stockholm District Court today, Tuesday, claimed that the Union lacked jurisdiction, without special authorization from the cabin employees make agreements with SAS about their accrued pension rights, especially as this partly financed through a waiver of salary.
– During the uproar in November 2012 negotiated The Union simply remove individual workers agreed pension rights without their express consent, says Ulf Öberg.
Michael Gärtner is one of the 190 cabin employees that matches their union. DN reported previously drawn plans for a lawsuit up in 2013, shortly after the great crisis of the deal in Copenhagen.
– We have trouble believing that the Union has the right to freely dispose of our accrued pension rights without our express permission. They have contracted away our pension money as if it were their own, he says in a written comment in connection with the lawsuit.
According to Michael Gärtner gave the cabin crew never consent to their pensions would be reduced in this way.
– Many of us have lost up to hundreds of thousands of crowns in pension assets, he says.
The now contested agreement was during the 18th November 2012. Signatories our Founding Chairman of the Federation Cecilia Fahlberg and the union’s negotiating Niklas Hjert.
For cabin crew, the agreement means that their capital that guaranteed their vested pension rights between 60 and 65 were withdrawn and “reorganized” to to finance premiums for future vesting of retirement.
