Deliveries not impacted as freight pilots go on strike
Parcel deliveries will not be affected when they say that they will leave the industrial transactions at the bottom of the sector upon a fee proposal.
More than 100 Express Freighter pilot, over 90 percent of the company’s “Lowball” fee proposal to vote in favor of the action in favor of the action in favor of the action will begin to take a low -level action.
After six months of negotiations that lasted six months, the trade unions refused to improve the proposal that the company would wander around the bare minimum of legal minimum and that it would include bad work-life balance.
The pilots fly a significant amount of Australian Post’s load overnight on the “Behind the Clock” flights and 260 hours away from home each month.
Three unions, the Association of Transportation Workers (Twu), Australian Air Pilots Federation (AFAP) and Australia and International Pilots Association, the first -preserved action ballot compasses.
If the pilots undertaking low -level action, unions do not return with a better offer, the unions will stop and will not stop and complement things before a planned shift, while the trade unions determine the runway for increasing action.
Twu and AFAP are looking for a wage increase to match industrial standards, as well as improvements and additional days in staff guards to improve the work-life balance.
Qantas has fulfilled unexpected situations plans, the majority of the load has been moved to the abdomen of passenger aircraft, and they are not affected by this action and do not expect any effect on the operations.
“We negotiate with good faith for a new agreement and offer an offer with significant wage increases and lifestyle improvements for our cargo ships,” he said.
“It is disappointing that trade unions take this step instead of continuing controversy.”
Twu National Secretary Michael Kaine said that workers are fighting the contracts to the cheapest bidder in the Qantas Supply Chain.
“Industrial action has always been a last resort, but once again we saw that Qantas has come to the bargaining table, he wanted to descend the workers instead of giving them a fair bid,” he said.
“We must stop being treated as a cost to reduce the workers rather than an investment.”
Simon Lutton, General Manager of AFAP, said the pilots had no choice but to take action.
Lut When compared to equivalent pilots, the proposal to the express loading pilots by Qantas represents the lowest provisions and conditions in almost every metric, ”he said.
In February, Qantas made a profit of $ 1.39 billion before the tax in half -month results.
