Emirates, your union and bargaining representatives met last Tuesday for bargaining.

This week Emirates responded to your union and bargaining representatives with another unacceptable pay offer. Emirates had…
Your ASU representatives met with management on Wednesday 17 May 2017 to progress negotiations for the new Virgin enterprise agreement.

Yesterday representatives from the ASU in Victoria, together with ASU members and Delegates from Dnata, gave evidence at a Senate Committee hearing into Corporate Avoidance of the Fair Work Act. We did this because Dnata’s recent actions in seeking to avoid current wages and conditions and creating AHSA, are a stark example of how many…
Following today’s decision by Dnata to withdraw the application for the dodgy AHSA EBA, the CEO has sent out a memo that has caused a lot of anger amongst Dnata staff. You can read the CEO’s memo here. It appears that Dnata are still going to utilise the new entity AHSA to bid for work…
Aerocare today said that their EBA was approved by a majority of employees entitled to a vote – but was it? A significant part of the workforce – i.e. casual employees did not get a vote at all. That is not fair, that is not reasonable. Aerocare say that the casuals are stuck on the…
As predicted, Aerocare management have decided to put their substandard agreement out to vote without any further negotiation or discussion. We have had 3 meetings with the company – these discussions have hardly been protracted! We recommend voting “NO” to this agreement when voting starts on 15th April 2017. This agreement has a lot wrong…
Following the meeting on Friday 31st March 2017 Aerocare have given a written response to our claims to improve your Enterprise Agreement.

Even though there is a dispute over the dodgy AHSA agreement that Dnata is trying to push through Fair Work, we still have to commence negotiations for your current Agreement which expires this year. It is very important that we continue to maintain your current EBA’s. We therefore need to start negotiations for the Ramp…
Commission hearing for the AHSA agreement has been adjourned until 15 May 2017. The Fair Work Commission asked all party’s to make themselves available this morning to have a brief conference via phone to determine the main issues to be discussed at tomorrow’s Commission hearing. During this conference it became apparent that more time was…

Jetstar EBA 5 will expire on 30 September 2017. That means we need to start bargaining for your new EBA as soon as possible. To prepare for our negotiations and compile a log of claims the union has developed a survey for you to complete so that we can determine what is important to you.…
