Possible new title: “Trade unions call for significant changes that could disrupt Budapest Airport operations”
Trade unions representing Budapest Airport employees are preparing to start a collective labor dispute with the airport and its subsidiaries due to failed negotiations regarding pay raises and working conditions. If an agreement is not reached, a general strike could potentially disrupt operations at Hungary’s top airport.
The unions are demanding a minimum 10% salary increase, with an additional increase for certain subsidiaries, as well as adjustments to seniority and bonus systems, educational allowances, and Christmas bonuses. They are also calling for improved working conditions and a bonus based on the company’s profits.
Negotiations are currently ongoing, with a potential strike looming if no resolution is reached. In the meantime, Budapest Airport has introduced stationary bicycles that generate energy for passengers to charge their devices while cycling. Additionally, the airport is hosting a wine tasting event by Patricius Winery, offering discounts on Tokaji wines for travelers.
As the situation unfolds, passengers and employees at Budapest Airport are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the labor dispute and its potential impact on airport operations. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
