Motion · S5M-21843 · 26 May 2020
Airline Redundancies
The motion
That the Parliament, while recognising the scale of the challenges facing the aviation industry worldwide as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, expresses deep concern at what it sees as the unnecessarily excessive scale of redundancies and wage cuts being imposed by some airlines, such as BA; condemns what it considers the dictatorial, aggressive, unscrupulous and contemptuous attitudes adopted towards employees by some airlines, and calls for the urgent withdrawal of the threat of mass job losses and for the airlines to work constructively with their employees, trade unions and the UK Government to map out a way forward that allows the industry to take appropriate measures to deal with the immediate challenges, while minimising job losses, avoiding real-term wage cuts, and putting appropriate plans in place for commercial resilience and recovery.
