EURECCA stands alongside Emirates Cabin Crews forced to take duty during the Weather Emergency

The numerous images and messages requesting support that our fellow flight attendants at the Emirates airline spread all over European social media only confirm the well-known disregard for the most basic principles of health and safety at work.

The legal impossibility of joining forces to assert one’s rights has brought out, during the exceptional meteorological events which have affected the Emirate area, all the limits of a “work system” where people count for nothing and, regardless, “the show must go on”.

It is the commitment of Eurecca – which represents over 35 thousand flight attendants across Europe – to raise attention to the continuing lack of rights and protections in some air carriers in the Gulf: these shortcomings emerge, dramatically, precisely in exceptional situations.

The difference in terms of rights is also an economic saving (without wanting to mention the moral implications): at a time when global competition is increasingly challenging, the adequate level of protection guaranteed to one’s employees must also be of importance.
