AFP officers have walked off the job at seven major airports around the country as part of ongoing industrial action.
AFP officers walked off the job at seven major airports around the country as part of ongoing industrial action, but didn't publicise their action for security reasons.
"Yesterday AFP officers walked off the job in airports around the country. We were not able to draw media attention to this action for security reasons, but we know it was disruptive and costly," AFPA President Alex Caruana said. This week's actions are part of a long running push to improve their enterprise agreement with the federal government.The AFPA said a new pay deal that secures an 11.2 per cent pay rise over three years for federal public servants — including AFP officers — doesn't suit the needs of members who can't take advantage of parts of it, including provisions for working from home.They also claim its members are paid less than police in other states.
