UnitedAirlines' Singapore staff not affected by carrier's plan to cut 16,370 workers. layoffs
[SINGAPORE] Employees in the United Airlines' Singapore office are not affected by the carrier's plan to furlough about 16,000 employees.
Its spokesman told The Straits Times on Thursday that the announcement applies only to workers based in the United States. He did not comment on how many workers United employs here. The airline had said on Wednesday that it is preparing to furlough 16,370 workers when federal aid expires on Oct 1 as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to devastate the airline industry. One union said many more people would be without pay.
United had over 90,000 employees before the pandemic brought the industry to a near standstill in March. It warned in July that 36,000 jobs were at risk of involuntary furloughs as demand remained weak. United's cuts include 6,920 flight attendants, but the union representing them said 14,000 would not have a paycheck in October unless the US Congress acts to extend US$25 billion in aid.
