Intrarea FPU Romania în ITF și ETF marchează un moment important în maturizarea reprezentării personalului navigant din România. ITF ne oferă protecție globală, ETF ne conectează la discuțiile europene pentru cabin crew, iar împreună cu ECA formăm infrastructura prin care problemele piloților și însoțitorilor de bord ajung direct în fața EASA și a Comisiei Europene.
Wizz Air has been ordered to return money owed to its staff. The case was brought forward by FPU Romania on behalf of its members. It covers both holiday pay and forced unpaid leave that were wrongly handled by the airline.
The aviation industry is constantly pushing for cost efficiency and on-time performance, but this rush culture puts pressure on crew members, making it harder for them to perform their pre- and post-flight duties diligently. And then there’s also the issue of unpaid work.
Pilots and cabin crew undergo extensive initial and recurrent training every year. Digital technology has made e-learning an efficient substitute for in-class training. But can airlines demand crew members complete mandatory e-learning courses without scheduling them as duty time?
A decision from the Bucharest Labor Court has ruled that a clause in a pilot’s local employment contract that restricted the individual from working elsewhere without express written consent is null and void. The judge made it clear that this clause was against the law, and since holding multiple jobs is permitted by current legislation, any restrictions must be explicitly provided by law.
Join the survey, do your part, and help us convince lawmakers to put an end to these employment practices.
