Keeping Virgin Australia accountable

During our recent bargaining sessions, Virgin Australia committed to introducing a new part-time role called 'Part-Time 50'. It aimed at offering greater flexibility and improving work-life balance for our members.

However, Virgin Australia has not implemented it.

Virgin Australia has campaigned to provide improved roster choices and promote these options outside the bargaining process. These promises must be now translated into reality. Specifically, Virgin Australia has pledged to:

1.           Part-Time Roster Preferences: Allow team members to select a roster pattern that best suits their circumstances. Options include a 4/2 or 6/3 roster pattern.

2.           AM/PM Shift Choices: Enable team members to choose either the type of work (skills) they perform or when they perform it, based on their individual preferences. This includes:
a.            Preference for a specific skillset (selecting your top three skills in order of preference)
b.            Morning shifts (AM)
c.            Afternoon shifts (PM)

We are calling Virgin Australia to meet with the ASU immediately to implement all measures supporting flexibility.

It's time for Virgin Australia to honour its words and ensure all employees benefit from the improved roster choices and part-time opportunities it has been advocating.

We can ensure that Virgin Australia fulfils its commitments and provides the flexible work arrangements we all deserve.
