In conjunction with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) annual general meeting in Dublin, Ireland, held at the start of June, airport workers in many countries (see here and here) staged protests in a co-ordinated Global Day of Action, (see here for pictures). In a globalised industry like aviation, workers and unions want airlines and airport owners to stop their race to the bottom that is slashing pay and conditions for all workers. This global day of action follows on from another global day of action that was held in September 2012. These international events are a reflection of the increasing linkages between workers in different countries. In our globalised world, only united and co-ordinated actions by workers can win.
