#CathayPacific Staff Rally Against Sacking and Unfair Treatment Objected by Hong Kong Police

After sacking 5,300 Hong Kong-based staff members, Cathay Pacific demands its remaining employees to change to a new contract or face sacking.

Earlier, Cathay Pacific flight attendants' union has informed the police and applied for a rally permission at Cathay City on November 4. Two days before the rally, the police rejected the request.

The union criticized Cathay Pacific for mistreating their staff by firing them and cutting their salary. Communication with the management has been problematic and there are a lot of unsolved issues with the new contract. Many employees regretted signing it.

Although the rally has been rejected by the police, the union will find alternative ways to voice their opinion.

Since several pro-democracy rallies took place at the airport in August and September 2019, the Hong Kong Airport Authority has obtained an injunction order from the court, barring anyone who are not staff, nor passengers with a boarding pass from entering the Hong Kong airport.
