Jet2 plan to dismiss 95 workers.

Jet2 has announced that it plans to make 95 workers based on Lanzarote redundant, as part of a plan that will see the airline’s workforce on the Canaries reduced by 35%.

The redundancies will affect workers who carry out baggage check-in duties at hotels.

49 of the 62 employees in Fuerteventura, 55 of the 69 workers in Gran Canaria and 100 of the 245 employees in Tenerife will also be affected, as well as 50 workers in Alicante and the Balearics.

Orlando Robledano of the General Workers’ Union (UGT) said “We are going to try to ensure that no jobs are eliminated if the external check-in service has to cease to exist, we will ask that their jobs be subrogated to the current operators.”
