欧盟航空峰会–呼吁提高社会水准

欧洲主要的航空公司,飞行员和机组人员组织正联手要求体面的社会标准和明确的规则,以供航空业遵守。 当航空利益相关者和决策者在维也纳开会,参加由奥地利担任轮值主席的高级别欧洲航空峰会时,就会发出电话。 就在一天前,一些交通部长敦促欧盟委员会提出具体措施,以实现“对社会负责的连通性”,并确保在欧洲航空市场上进行健康,公平的竞争。

在具有经济自由的单一市场中经营多年,但对劳动法和社会保障体系进行了细分之后,对这个行业有害的证据越来越多。 某些航空公司不再基于服务和产品进行竞争,而是基于“设计”其社会和雇佣实践。 由于欧盟和国家框架的法律空白和灰色地带产生的“发明性”就业机会,船员面临着不断恶化的工作条件和不稳定的非典型合同。 然而,欧盟委员会自2015年以来承诺的欧洲航空“社会议程”尚未采取很多形式或形式。

因此,在一份联合声明中,航空公司和员工提出了应采取的几项措施,并呼吁决策者迅速采取行动,以填补这一空白。

“It is time to take urgent steps to clarify the definition of Home Base for crew and to ensure pilots and cabin crew are covered by the local labour and social security law of the country where they are based,” says ECA President Dirk Polloczek. “It is time to explicitly prohibit bogus self-employment for air crew, to limit the systematic use of atypical employment – such as broker agency or zero-hour contracts – and to undertake legislative changes,” continues Dirk Polloczek. “The revision of the EU Air Services Regulation 1008/2008 will be a key opportunity to embed social protection within Europe’s legal framework in future, but we cannot wait until then. Action is needed – and possible – already now”.

“Only last week, EU Employment Commissioner Thyssen said that the Single Market is not a jungle and there are clear rules that govern it,” says ECA Secretary General Philip von Schöppenthau. “But what has been concretely done since the “Social Agenda for Transport” Conference in June 2015 – and the subsequent Aviation Strategy – where EU Commissioner Bulc committed to tackle the many social problems in our sector? Very little! And in the meantime, the most striking difference we see is that the list of misuses has become even longer and even more wide-spread.”

呼吁采取行动之际,数个欧洲成员国签署了《联合声明》,敦促欧盟委员会在2018年底之前提出具体有效的措施。比利时部长签署了“航空社会议程-迈向社会责任的连通性”。 ,丹麦,法国,德国,卢森堡和荷兰。 它提请人们注意与操作基础的增加,通过机构招聘人员,伪造的自雇和其他非典型形式的就业有关的经常出现的问题,警告不要进行社会倾销,规则购物,不公平的做法和不公平的竞争环境。

菲利普·冯·舍彭索(Philip vonSchöppenthau)说:“看到来自欧洲各地的运输部长们发出这样的政治信息是充满希望和令人振奋的。” “这是一项欢迎和及时的倡议,必须引起欧洲委员会的警钟。”
