Norwegian pilot provider inks labour accord

OSM Aviation, the Norwegian firm that supplies pilots to Norwegian, has signed a labour agreement with the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF). The memorandum of understanding with ITF, which represents more than 5m transport workers in 150 countries, lays the foundation for further union representation and collective bargaining rights among OSM’s crews. “We now employ 2,700 pilots and cabin crew, and want to offer them long-term and secure jobs. Our agreement with the ITF will help achieve this, and supports the agreements we already hold with a number of unions in countries where we’re represented,” OSM Aviation CE Espen Høiby said. OSM Aviation recruits, appoints, trains and administers flight crew. The company has 9 airline customers, but Norwegian is OSM’s largest client. <br/>
