AIRPORT WORKERS MAKE PROGRESS at ERMC

RESPECT + CONNECT MEETINGS HELP BUILD A HEALTHY WORKPLACE

After tensions over COVID safety and other issues at ERMC, cabin cleaners and management came together to hold the first of a series of informal meetings they hope will build trust and a healthier working environment. Called “Respect +Connect Meetings,” these talks between coworkers and management aim to solve problems before they turn into crises.

“We started this meeting to build the relationship between workers and management so we can understand each other. We’re asking to be respected—no matter who you are or where you come from. We are a multicultural workforce and many of us speak English as a second language. The key is communication and respect.”

—Nibhan Gudle
