Brussels Airlines has announced that staff will be required to operate flights to Tel Aviv, which will resume this month. This decision has led to discontent within the ACV Puls union, which claims that this action violates earlier agreements.

According to ACV Puls, it was agreed that flights to Israel would only be operated by volunteers. Therefore, the union has filed a strike notice to compel the airline to reconsider this decision.

The strike notice, as stated by ACV Puls, is a necessary step as the union is concerned about the implications for staff who could be compelled to work these flights against their will. The union has clarified its position in a written statement.

Brussels Airlines has yet to respond officially to ACV Puls's strike notice, and it remains unclear how the airline will address the situation. So far, no further details regarding potential actions by the union have been disclosed.

The situation surrounding the flights to Tel Aviv and the responses from the parties involved continues to evolve. The union remains committed to advocating for the rights and interests of the staff in this matter.
