📢 Solidarity with Unite Officers Branch

For the first time in Unite’s history, our full‑time officials — the people who support members every day — are taking industrial action after management attempted to impose a staff association with no mandate.

This goes against the democratic principles our union stands for, and Unite Officers are now standing up for the same standards we expect from every employer.

Picket lines will be in place from Monday 27th April outside most Unite offices.

We encourage members to show solidarity in any way they can, while following workplace rules and guidance.

Solidarity always.

Good Evening Members,

Please check your company emails for a further update on operations in the Middle East.

As previously mentioned, the situation remains fluid and we ask for your patience as reps are working around the clock on this.

As always, should you require any further support or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Please not due to the volume of questions etc, responses may be slightly slower than usual. Your reps will work through these as fast as we can!

In the meantime, stay safe.

Dear Members,

We are asking all to complete the following petition to push for an increase in the outdated allowances for Subsistence.

Please take a few moments to complete this !

Thanks

HMRC sets scale rate expenses for subsistence paid to employees who travel outside the UK, such as Cabin Crew. We feel the rates are not reflective or the real costs for people whose work takes them abroad, and that the way they are put into blocks of 5/10 or 24 hour blocks is completely unfair.

Evening All,

HCCU has written to the company regarding some of the frankly Archaic and draconian changes that have been introduced today into the Uniform Guidelines.

It’s extremely dissapointing to see the company going back to its old ways, going back to rules similar to that on its previous Mixed Fleet.

We have requested an urgent meeting to discuss these changes and will update you in due course

Regards
HCCU
