More than 50 Sydney Airport refuelers are striking today after the Transport Workers Union and Ampol Aviation failed to reach an agreement on wages.Workers walked off the job from 1am to 5am and will also strike from 7am to 11, and from 6pm to 10pm. The union is demanding higher wages, more full-time positions and better leave entitlements.“These workers are dedicated professionals who deserve better.
In an industry where profits are soaring, it’s unacceptable that those who keep it running are treated so poorly,” TWU NSW State Secretary Richard Olsen said. “The aviation industry is facing a crisis driven by the relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of workers. We urgently need a Safe and Secure Skies Commission to establish fair standards and ensure that every role, from the baggage room to the cockpit, is valued and secure.
