Further talks to be held with Thomas Cook over nearly 500 cabin crew redundancies

3 November 2011

Further talks will be held between Thomas Cook and Unite's national officials in Manchester next Wednesday, (9 November) over plans to make 498 cabin crew redundant.

Talks were held in Manchester yesterday (Wednesday, 2 November) after the cabin crew, members of Unite, the UK's largest union, voted overwhelmingly in a consultative ballot in favour of industrial action.

Unite regional officer, Mick Whitley said today: 'Further talks will be held next Wednesday and Unite won't be making any comment until after those consultations have been concluded.'

Unite represents about 1,150 of the 1,800-strong cabin crew workforce. The crews fly from Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, East Midlands Gatwick, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle, and Stansted airports.
