Skyteam unions set for rally in US
29 September 2007
Civil aviation unions are to take to the streets of the city of Atlanta, US, next week in an effort to give a major airline’s workers a voice.
Trade unionists and ITF representatives are converging in Atlanta on Monday for a meeting of labour organisations representing workers employed by airlines in the Skyteam alliance. They will also stage a rally to help boost the organising campaigns of the Association of Flight Attendants and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers; they are targeting Delta Airlines staff where only pilots are currently unionised. Delta Airlines is a member of the Skyteam alliance.
In recent years staff at the airline have suffered as a result of staggering wage cuts and a decline in their working conditions, including understaffing.
ITF Civil Aviation Secretary Ingo Marowsky commented: "We are expecting a significant turnout. We need to expose management’s ill will towards staff and to demand they treat workers fairly and enable them to express their collective voice through union representation."
