Pilots at Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) have marched through Kloten, home of Zurich Airport, in the fight for a better collective labour agreement.

“Quality needs good working conditions,” read one protest sign on Thursday.“Saving on staff leads to dissatisfied customers,” read another.

Around 350 pilots, all wearing yellow Aeropers union waistcoats and many carrying protest signs, marched to SWISS's headquarters at 1pm.

The new collective labour agreement for pilots has been the subject of intensive negotiations since last autumn. The SWISS management rejected a first contract in February, then at the end of July the Aeropers members clearly rejected an existing draft.
