Campaigning at easyJet
BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT OUR REPS AND MEMBERS HAVE ACHIEVED AT EASYJET OVER THE YEARS AND SOME CURRENT CAMPAIGNS.
Campaigns and victories
ORANGE OUTRAGE
In the summer of 2020 we launched our Orange Outrage campaign in response to the announcement that easyJet planned to close 3 UK bases and make many more crew redundant. We had demonstrations outside many UK airports and even parliament to highlight the injustice and to encourage the government into providing sector specific support to the aviation industry.
