The result was that the employees get a general pay rise, which brings them close to their colleagues in the parent company, he says The joint association. In addition, more of the salary will come as a fixed monthly salary, and there will be fewer variable supplements.
– A decent and predictable income has been a very important issue in the negotiations. The cabin crew have now received a well-deserved and decent pay rise, says Dag-Einar Sivertsen, head of negotiations from Fellesforbundet
The cabin crew in SAS Link now get the same weekend exemption scheme as the employees in the parent company SAS. That means two full weekends off per month on average.
Preparations negotiator, Thore Selstad Halvorsen, points out that many are not aware that the Working Environment Act does not apply to employees in aviation.
– A good settlement this year on wages and working conditions therefore compensates a bit on the way to a fixed salary without supplements where work goes beyond normal working hours. Cabin staff are also not paid extra for working evenings, nights or weekends. These conditions mean that in the negotiations we have fought for a salary supplement which this year gives a real salary increase, says Halvorsen.
SAS Link is a wholly owned subsidiary of SAS Scandinavian Airlines, which was established in 2022.
