Aviation unions in the ITF and ETF are campaigning for measures to improve conditions for all staff handling baggage - front of house, security, cabin crew and baggage handling workers.

Unions in Europe have made the Pack Less campaign a priority and have been pressing hard for the following measures in their region:

Weight limitation restrictors at check-in that prevent loading of hold baggage over 23 kilos
Maximum weigh limits of 6 kilos per item for cabin baggage
Safe stowage procedures for overhead lockers in the cabin, with load bearing weight identified for each compartment
Risk assessments to include workers' representatives
All manual handling operations to be assisted by technology
Colour-coded weight strips identifying weight bands, clear signage, and floor-level loading conveyors.

Other ITF affiliates have endorsed the Pack Less campaign making it a global initiative with the following key elements: raising public awareness; lobbying companies, industry bodies, governments and international institutions such as ICAO; and workers’ information and training.
