-The government is ready to make compromises. Prime Minister: We ask all controllers not to close the Polish air
†“We have put a very far-reaching proposal on the table”
We have put on the table a very far-reaching and very attractive, and above all a feasible, proposal. And we appeal to its approval
— said Adamczyk at Monday’s standing subcommittee on air transport.
He continued his meeting on information on the measures taken to resolve the conflict with air traffic controllers and restore air traffic safety and security.
He stressed that security issues are fundamental.
Therefore, before Easter, it was possible to agree on issues related to air traffic safety
– said Adamczyk.
Negotiations with air traffic controllers
Negotiations between the management of the Polish Agency for Air Navigation Services (PANSA) and representatives of the air traffic controllers’ union (ZZ KRL) have been going on for several weeks. safety, work regulations and remuneration regulations.
The head of the Ministry of Infrastructure says that 24 demands are made from the social side in the field of air traffic safety.
They are all initialed and agreed. So the negotiation challenges we face today are no longer about security issues, which, as we all agree, come at no price. At the moment we are really only negotiating about pay and working hours. And we’re talking about the accountants’ expectations regarding a significant increase in their salaries
– said Adamczyk.
He recalled that the problems of the new remuneration rules in PANSA, introduced by the previous management of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency, “became the direct source of the ongoing conflict”.
PANSA suggested returning to the state before its implementation. PANSA management put forward proposals to return to the principles and level of remuneration before the Covid period, before the outbreak of the pandemic, which later led to the creation of new remuneration schemes, in which these remunerations were reduced.
He explained.
We care first and foremost about the maintenance of air traffic in Poland, but we want air traffic maintenance to be carried out in safe conditions and in particularly safe conditions directly for the air traffic controllers, who monitor the airspace in Poland.
– explained Adamczyk.
†This movement is recovering, but the process will take a few more years.”
He indicated that the pandemic caused a reduction in air traffic in Poland and around the world.
This movement is recovering, but it is a process that will take several more years. The number of air operations in Warsaw, i.e. the number of take-offs and landings, is currently around 30%. lower than in 2019, so before covid
He pointed.
He noted that the lower number of air operations had a direct impact on the Agency’s financial situation.
On Sunday, another round of talks took place between representatives and air traffic controllers of PANSA with representatives of the Air Traffic Controllers union. The next round of talks is scheduled for Monday at 2 PM.
