Arab World aviation unions back Gulf Air workers
Arab World aviation unions back Gulf Air workers
Aviation trade unions from across the Arab World meeting in Beirut today backed their 200 plus colleagues in Gulf Air who have been unfairly dismissed.
Union representatives at the ITF (International Transport Workers’ Federation) and ETF (European Transport Workers’ Federation) conference declared their solidarity with the dismissed workers, and requested that the ITF make a formal complaint to the International Labour Organization over the case.
The ITF is campaigning on behalf of 217 Bahrain-based Gulf Air workers who were dismissed in April. All are members of the General Flight Attendants Union, the aviation arm of ITF affiliate the General Federation of Bahrain Trade Unions (GFBTU). Amongst those dismissed were union leaders, which the GFBTU believes puts Gulf Air in breach of ILO conventions.
