Taking the train into London to join my colleagues from all across the wonderful travel industry for the #traveldayofaction. For those unable to join us please get involved and hit the social media channels. Every tweet, every like & every retweet does count.
Our world class cities are losing out on £28.4bn spending from overseas visitors – inbound travel for business and holidays is a huge contributor to the UK economy. Govt needs to allow the safe return of travel this summer #speakupfortravel
Pilots declare mayday for UK travel and call on politicians across the UK to help save ‘make or break’ summer.
Brian Strutton Acting Gen Sec said:
“The Government has to decide if this summer it will make or break the UK travel industry." (1/ 3)
Today Unite and other voices across the industry including airports, cabin crew, ground staff, engineers and pilots are calling on Government to safely reopen air travel and deliver vital support to the industry, as part of today's #TravelDayOfAction. #SpeakUpForTravel
Today BASSA is taking part in #traveldayofaction. We are joining other unions, employees and businesses to lobby the UK Government to #standupfortravel. Safely reopen International travel and extend furlough. Get involved in the Twitterstorm at 2pm @unitetheunion@The_TUC
Livelihoods are on the line - we need @RishiSunak to bring forward a package of tailored financial support including extending furlough to help protect jobs and businesses in the travel industry #traveldayofaction#speakupfortravel@RobertJenrick as a constituent I need your help
This is good news which, I hope, ends a sorry saga at #BritishAirways of which it should be ashamed.
Thousands have left BA as a result of these threats, and thousands more have been demoted and/or had their terms and conditions slashed.
The PM must act to end #fireandrehire now
To our members, we will continue to use everything at our disposal to outlaw fire and rehire tactics once and for all.
Please stay strong ✊

Sending support to our @British_Airways cargo workers this morning, who've walked out against the company's efforts to slash their pay under the cover of #Covid. You’ve worked around the clock bringing in crucial freight from around the world, including life-saving PPE. 1/4
Outrageous behaviour from British Gas.
Despite an 86% rejection of pay cuts by members the company has set a Christmas deadline to accept the same offer or be fired.
Strike action in the depths of winter is now unavoidable.

Yesterday I spoke at the Future of Aviation Industry Debate.
The British aviation industry employs hundreds of thousands and contributes £28bn to the economy.
That is why it's so frustrating to see the government fail to deliver for the industry in any substantive way.
