The Cathay Pacific flight attendant union initiated the work according to the rules and issued an open letter to reiterate that it has no choice but to ask for the understanding of the colleagues

Cathay Pacific's flight attendant union has repeatedly expressed appeals to Cathay Pacific on improving staffing arrangements, remuneration, etc., but both labor and management have not reached a consensus.

The labor union started to work according to the rules today (19th), and issued an "open letter to all pilots and airport employees" on social platforms. The letter mentioned that fighting for the rights and interests of employees is an indispensable obligation of the labor union. Failing to provide employees with reliable and feasible working conditions, as well as competitive and financially sustainable remuneration packages, working according to regulations is a last resort. I understand that related actions may cause inconvenience to colleagues, but I kindly ask colleagues for understanding and support.

Cathay Pacific replied that today's flight services are operating as usual, and it is guaranteed that it will continue to provide flight services to customers as scheduled.

The Cathay Pacific Flight Attendant Union started mobilizing its members to participate in the action of working according to the rules. This afternoon, it issued an "Open Letter to All Pilots and Airport Staff" on social platforms. It first mentioned the recent experience The aviation industry has been hit hard by the three-year epidemic. I believe that every airport employee will fulfill their responsibilities every minute and every second, stick to their posts, and get ready to meet the long-sleeping tourism industry.

The union continued to mention that while eager to rebuild Hong Kong's international aviation hub, provide professional and reliable services to customers, and ensure the company's business competitiveness and financial sustainability, it is also indispensable for the union to fight for the rights and interests of every employee obligation.

However, Cathay Pacific did not provide employees with reliable and feasible working conditions, and provided competitive and financially sustainable remuneration packages. Working according to the rules was a last resort.

At the end of the article, the union pointed out that they understand that working according to the rules may cause inconvenience to pilots and airport employees, but they think that their peers understand what they have experienced better than outsiders, and ask for their understanding and support.

It is worth noting that the three aspirations mentioned by the union in the letter were also mentioned by the new Cathay Pacific CEO Lin Shaobo in a short video to the cabin crew published on the company website a few days ago.

Lin Shaobo said in the film that he has a strong sense of mission and wants to protect the future of his employees. After taking office, in order to achieve this mission, he has three major responsibilities, namely rebuilding the Hong Kong International Aviation Hub, providing professional and reliable services to customers, and ensuring the company's business Competitive and financially sustainable.
