Dear colleagues,

The unions received some draft texts from Belgocontrol on Tuesday, and discussed about these proposals on yesterday’s negotiation meeting. Belgocontrol only accepted a few minoradaptations.

During the afternoon, a staff meeting was organized as well:

- There were some discussions on working conditions and rostering (e.g. May). According to theCEO all rules are respected. So it is strongly recommended that all ATCOs check theirindividual cp balance after each reference period (Jan-March, April-June,...). At the end ofJune, it's supposed to be zero. The unions are prepared to undertake legal action if necessary.

- It is clear to the staff that management is not taking their concerns seriously. Therefore, thestaff proposed to boycott all "Leuven Rechtdoor Revised" training and RNP-training atEBCI UFN . - It cannot be stressed enough that your flexibility (call ups, filling in missing shifts,...) is helpingout management. It is NOT helping your case! For the atcos on duty in a reduced team:* SVR & TM will do their utmost best to protect the team from too heavy workload;* a couple of days of work with less break is only a small sacrifice for the rest of your career. - Atcos are also reminded that each individual controller has a professional responsibility toassess whether or not that he/she is ‘fit for duty’. Fatigue and tiredness are to be reported byeSRO and to your supervisor. If you don't feel fit for work than don't (European obligation)

After the staff meeting, the negotiations restarted. Surprisingly, late in the afternoon, management stated they are no longer willing to negotiateabout the end of career of the atcos, even when no actions are going on. They are convinced that“the atmosphere is no longer serene enough to negotiate”. The CEO concluded the negotiations

by accusing the atcos of using guerrilla tactics to harass management.

From Monday on, actions restart!!!
