On Thursday, Dnata offered staff a salary increase of 1.7% before proposing 3% on Friday, says the latter. According to an anonymous online survey conducted by the SSP, 93.8% of employees refuse management’s proposal and 87.2% say they are ready to strike. The union is demanding a 5% increase in salaries and the implementation of several bonuses linked to the arduousness of the work, declares Jamshid Pouranpir.
Some 60,000 passengers expected at GVA
A strike notice was voted on Monday by half of the employees as the airport prepares to welcome up to 60,000 passengers per day at the end of the year. Supported by the SSP union, the employees opposed the change in the percentages of contributions for professional pensions which was imposed on them by management. They feared significant drops in income upon retirement, up to 120,000 francs, according to their calculations.
