Social Dumping in Aviation
Overview
Background & policy context:
In June 2013, the Danish Minister of Transport set up a broadly composed working group containing representatives of the aviation industry, the trade unions, and the relevant ministries. The working group was tasked with preparing a report on social dumping in aviation.
Objectives:
The working group was to continue to work on the problems and proposed initiatives raised in the aforementioned report. Against this background, work continued further along the three routes that formed the basis of the report:
- The EU route, where, owing to EU regulations, initiatives are required at EU level.
- The national route, where Denmark itself is able to implement initiatives to combat social dumping.
- Ensuring that there is no deliberate circumvention of the rules
The report contains specific proposals for further work in relation to the EU including a common definition on the concept of the employer and home-base. The report also includes proposals for better rules regarding working environment as well as a proposal for a more competitive sector in relation to companies from outside the EU.
