Oneworld Alliance unions support JAL crew

24/12/10

Trade unions in Oneworld Alliance companies are making a joint approach to Japan Airlines today, on behalf of the JAL Cabin Crew Union (CCU), which is fighting forced redundancies of its members planned to take place at the end of this year.

In a letter to the company, top union leaders from key oneworld carrier countries have written expressing concern about the dispute and calling upon the airline to reverse its redundancy plans. Specifically, the unions are dismayed about allegations that workers were selected for dismissal on the basis of age and trade union activity. They also questioned the need for further reductions to the workforce given reports that the number of cabin crew who have applied for the voluntary retirement programme had well exceeded the company’s original goal.

The initiative, coordinated by the International Transport Workers’ Federation whose members cover all major global carriers, sees unions with members in BA, Qantas, American Airlines, Royal Jordanian, LAN, Cathay Pacific and Finnair operations coming together to sign off on a joint written protest. Other ITF aviation affiliates have also sent letters expressing support.

Yoko Mori of the JAL-CCU said: “fundamental principles are at stake here. ITF affiliates who represent members in the oneworld Alliance companies know that and they have urged JAL to resolve this. The ball is in JAL’s court.”
