Today marks the first aniversary of
The Cathay Pilots Union
The achievements this group has made in such a short time are immense. Before the end of July this year Cathay Pacific will be required to present themselves in the UK Employment Tribunal to answer for their actions on July 9th 2001. In a few short months they will be required to respond to three very serious complaints in the courts in Hong Kong. Not only that they are still facing action in the US. None of this would have happened without the dedication and support of those that chose the right way. Those that did should be very proud.
In time it will become clear which organisation truly represents the best interests of the pilots in Hong Kong. The HKAOA is again what it once was, a video club with access to cheap insurance. Basically a lame duck when it comes to protecting the contract. Why are the likes of the General Secretary and his staff still collecting a paycheque? To get more pay cuts?
Think about it.
