– Attempting to use boycott and harassment tactics to force employees to organize is an obvious violation of their rights, writes Wizz Air communications manager Andras Rado in an email to Klassekampen.
The trade union movement has launched a campaign to get the Norwegian authorities to reject the low-cost airline operating domestic flights in Norway. The company has been criticized, among other things, for opposing the unions.
The trade union movement’s appeal refers to the ILO convention, which guarantees freedom of association and believes it provides a basis for expelling the company, and both the Red Party and the Labor Party have proposals that they believe may prevent the company from operating. in Norway.
Rado writes to Klassekampen that Wizz Air recognizes that international conventions protect the right of employees to organize.
– We also recognize that the European Court of Human Rights has declared that the same principles protect the right of employees not to join organizations, he writes.
