On Tuesday, the Verdi trade union called around 200 employees of FAI rent-a-jet GmbH and FAI Technik GmbH to the first election meeting, which should lead to the formation of a works council. In addition to the pilots, this also includes the employees in the administrative areas and technology

“Our members have given us a clear mandate to call the works council elections. This is a first and important step towards improving the employment conditions for flying and non-flying personnel," explained the responsible Verdi trade union secretary, Dennis Dacke.

At Nuremberg Airport, but also worldwide, the FAI is a real big player, which, in addition to orders for the United Nations and private charter flights, also carries out ambulance flights and, for example, can also transport COVID-19 patients safely, reported Dacke. “The employees are the basis for the success of the company. That is precisely why it is important that the employees now also have the opportunity to actively have a say in the company,” emphasized Dacke.

Verdi assumes that the FAI management and the shareholders will cooperate with the installation of the co-determination structures and will work benevolently with ver.di and the future electoral board. The first meeting will take place on March 25.03.2022, XNUMX at Nuremberg Airport.
