Aviation unions call for universal access to COVID-19 vaccines and treatment.
ITF called this week for governments to pass an emergency waiver to grant universal access to Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and equipment.
The ITF Civil Aviation Section Committee raised urgent concerns at its meeting last week on vaccine inequality. The Committee stated strongly that this is an emergency, a moral question and an industrial question. As such, aviation unions must join the public calls for a waiver:
The recovery of aviation is tied to global recovery from the pandemic.
It is very clear we will not recover until everyone recovers.
