Solidarity action from PALEA to support Turkish Airlines workers

October 7, 2013

PALEA union, ITF affiliate in Philippines yesterday joined the ITF call for solidarity action to support Turkish Airlines (THY) workers.

As THY doesn’t fly to Manila, PALEA members established a solidarity picket in front of the Turkish Airlines Sales Office in Ayala Avenue, Makati City. The area is the main business district in Metro Manila. PALEA members visited the THY Ticket Office to hand leaflets to the passengers and THY sales agents. They also leafleted passer-by to explain the similarities between PALEA and Hava-Is campaigns, both have been looking for justice for quite a long time.

So far, trade unions in India, Korea and Australia have declared that they will participate and join in leafleting passengers at THY destinations.

Once again we’re calling on ITF aviation affiliates to provide practical and lawful solidarity by leafleting THY passengers.
