BRITISH AIRWAYS EMPLOYMENT AT GLASGOW AIRPORT

Early day motion 178, tabled 8 December 2008 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the continuing loss of jobs by British Airways (BA) staff at Glasgow Airport and other regional airports across the UK; notes that these job losses which are not in the best interests of the public demonstrate BA's lack of commitment to serving regional airports outside London, its willingness to undermine the long-term security of the workforce and to treat regional airports such as Glasgow as trading posts; and believes that BA should reconsider this decision or go the whole way and rebrand themselves London Airways.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 6, Scottish National Party 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
