Promoting aviation safety, technical expertise and fair living and work conditions
Representing 70% of all cabin crew in Europe, the 33,000+ affiliates represented by their national unions in 8 European countries, look to EurECCA to be their voice in Brussels. EurECCA works to protect and develop the rights of cabin crew all over Europe, especially in the fields of on-board safety and the health, work and living conditions of crew. EurECCA’s staff and Board Members are all cabin crew, still flying regularly, and their real life experience and expertise are assets when discussing and finding solutions to the issues that matter.
What we do :
The transposition of the French concept and definition of the "operational base" into EU law appears to be the appropriate solution.
The high social standards within the EU must not be put at risk due to a competitive disandvantage for european airlines.
The Portuguese Government intends to approve a new law establishing flight time limitations, duty time and rest requirements for mobile staff in civil aviation, which will replace Decree-Law 139/2004.
EurECCA calls for high social standards in Europe and prevents cabin crew bogus self-employment as a race to the bottom on labour conditions.
