Unite, the UK and Ireland’s largest union, which represents
hundreds of members at Flybe is seeking an urgent meeting with the
company following
press speculation about its future.
Unite assistant general secretary Diana Holland said: “The
speculation about Flybe’s future is deeply unhelpful and incredibly
unsettling for the company’s loyal workforce.
“Unite is now seeking an urgent meeting with the company to fully
understand the challenges Flybe is facing.
“Unite is committed to helping ensure the future of the company and
to preserve jobs but this can’t be achieved if the union is kept in
the dark.
“It is essential that the government plays an active role in
helping to ensure that Flybe continues to operate. It is not
acceptable for the government simply to prepare for failure.
“The government must demonstrate that it has learnt the lessons
from the collapse of Monarch, which it failed to apply during the
collapse of Thomas Cook.
“The government must implement both the Airline Insolvency Review
and the Insolvency and Corporate Governance Review at the earliest
possible opportunity. It has previously committed to do so, but
actions speak far louder than words.”
