EasyJet ‘using sickness records to decide who gets fired’

#EasyJet has been accused of intending to use pilots’ #sickness records when drawing up plans for over 700 #job_cuts.
The pilots’ union said it was “unnecessary and wrong”, claiming the airline was risking #safety because unwell staff would be forced to report for work to avoid being fired.

EasyJet is planning 727 pilot redundancies as part of up to 4,500 job cuts and a restructuring that includes closing bases at Stansted, Southend and Newcastle airports.
