Union strikes could impact Virgin Australia flights, as ground crew workers take the next step towards industrial action.
Flights could be disrupted as Virgin Australia’s “pit crew” workers take the next step in a fight for better conditions.Transport Workers Union workers with Virgin have applied for a protected action ballot through the Fair Work Commission, as they accuse the airline of failing to act on commitments made during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The message we’re receiving loud and clear from TWU members above and below the wing is that Virgin must correct poverty pay, insecure work and unsafe conditions, otherwise workers will have to walk away from jobs that have become unsustainable,” Mr McIntosh said. But Virgin said the airline was still in the process of negotiating a new enterprise agreement with their “pit crew” employees.
