Workshop on February 16th : A Worker-Led Approach – Shaping the Future of Aviation
Workshop on February 16th : A Worker-Led Approach – Shaping the Future of Aviation
The aviation industry is currently facing big challenges to reduce its environmental impact.
Just recently, the European Transport Federation published the report “Landing Desirable Jobs” arguing strongly for a long-term sustainability perspective and a plan for decarbonisation led by the heart of the industry: its workers.
Aviation workers are speaking up and developing their own vision of the future for travel and the prospects for a worker-driven transformation of the sector.
We invite aviation sector employees to a conversation about their future and job security in a world of climate crisis. So-called Workers’ Assemblies (inspired by Citizen Assemblies) are one way of encouraging these conversations.
- Bring together aviation workers concerned about a sustainable future for the sector from different countries, companies and trade unions to share experiences and network
- Present and discuss the Aviation Workers’ Assembly concept
- Strategise on how our network can join together to make progress towards a worker-led transition plan for aviation in 2023
