Civil Air Transport Reps Statement on Unite General Secretary Election

Workers Uniting Group have been sent a copy of a statement by Unite reps in the CAT sector for publication on this website.

GENERAL SECRETARY ELECTION
Civil Air Transport Sector

September 2010

Recent events within the Civil Air Transport Sector may have given the wrong impression that the sector supports one particular candidate.

We have therefore decided to put the record straight on this by stating our support for the prospective candidate Les Bayliss.

Having listened to Les, we know that he is sincere in how he wants workers within Civil Aviation to be represented. Straight talking, and honest, we share his vision of an organisation that will always support members, but has the courage to ensure real leadership in situations where hard decisions need to be made by and on behalf of those members.

Les has made it clear that he wants to help and encourage members from both former sections to work together to develop our activist structure, and ensure we have a positive influence both industrially and politically. He wants to provide better resources for Activists, and like us he wants to ensure that every Region and every Airport has a voice within Civil Aviation.

Every area of the industry has been affected in some way by the recent difficult economic climate. Ground Handling, Engineering and Maintenance, Cabin Crew, and Passenger Services have all seen job losses and cost cutting.

We know that our members need strong leadership, and genuine support.

We believe that Les Bayliss will provide this and we urge all Unite members within the Civil Aviation to vote for him.

We are just some of the many Reps and Activists who are supporting Les Bayliss for Unite General Secretary.
