The TSSA union has again called for tailored assistance for the travel industry following the news TUI is closing dozens more travel agency stores.
Britain’s largest tour operator is downsizing its retail division again with 48 high street shops to close.
It is ‘another sure sign our travel trade urgently needs help to get through this pandemic; says TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes.
TUI also closed 166 shops last year.
"Sadly, we are yet to hear a peep out of the Government about our call for sector specific assistance," Cortez said.
"We welcome the fact TUI is offering to redeploy our members at risk of redundancy to other shops or to work from home. However, the company must be straight with our members that their rights, including pay and working conditions, remain the same."
