NetJets Europe pilots aim to unionize by year-end
NetJets Europe pilots are preparing to establish trade union representation at the fractional ownership company.

NetJets Europe pilots are preparing to establish trade union representation at the fractional ownership company. According to Teamsters union officials, a group of the European pilots is now evaluating four possible options for union representation and it expects to launch the new organization by year-end.

The main issues on which the NJE pilots want dialog with the company are the confusing legal status of their employment contracts and, in particular, their dissatisfaction over the way social security and pension benefits are handled. The pilots concerned want to end the practice whereby some of them are employed by a company that is outside European Union (EU) jurisdiction, leaving the pilots directly responsible for all tax, social security and pension contributions.
