The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) has announced the appointment of Eoin Coates to the post of assistant secretary in the ITF’s Civil Aviation Tourism Services section.

 

Eoin, a member of Fórsa’s Cabin Crew branch, was an active member of the branch committee. He took up his new post at the ITF at the beginning of February.

 

Announcing Eoin’s appointment, ITF civil aviation secretary Gabriel Mocho Rodriguez said, “Eoin brings a wealth of experience to our sections. He has worked as cabin crew for the past few years in Aer Lingus, and previous to this flew for Ryanair. He has a degree in political science and is currently pursuing a masters degree in humanitarian and human rights law.”

 

Fórsa head of division Angela Kirk added, “We wish Eoin well in his new appointment and we look forward to working closely with him at an important time for trade unions in aviation.”
