On 26 June, an information campaign on the “Decent work and dialogue – exchange of good practices” project took place within the “Decent work and tripartite dialogue” program supported by Norway through the Norway grants fund. The campaign aimed to acquaint the FTTUB members in the urban transport of Sofia with the outcomes of the project implemented by two trade unions – CITUB and the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions, LO, and two employers’ organisations – the Bulgarian Industrial Association and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises NHO. The project upgrades the common Bulgarian – Norwegian project from 2008 “Health, Safety and Environment in the Work Place” (see on www.hse-bg.org).

ETF DEMANDS SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN AVIAPARTNER
On Tuesday 14 June 2016, members of the European Transport Workers’ Federation’s
(ETF) Ground Staff Committee, including delegates from Belgian ETF affiliates ACV
Transcom, BTB and CGSLB, gathered in front of Aviapartner’s headquarters in
Zaventem to denounce the lack of social dialogue within the company and to urge the
management to meet its legal obligations in that regard.
On numerous occasions the ETF and its affiliated unions approached Aviapartner’s top
management to address the company’s deplorable industrial relations. Aviapartner
management neither informs nor consults the unions on the company’s economic
situation, structure of employment or decisions that most likely lead to substantial
changes. It is a clear violation of their legal obligation under EU legislation. In some
countries local management has gone as far as organising direct information sessions
for individual workers thereby circumventing the role of workers’ representatives.
Robert Hengster, Chair of the ETF Ground Staff Committee, commented: “It is a
disgrace to see that a multinational company operating in several EU member states
deliberately ignores its information and consultation obligations vis-à-vis its staff. We
call upon Aviapartner to live up to the company values that they publicly advertise
(strong team spirit, dialogue, mutual respect, etc).” Прочети още
