Budget airline Jetstar is cutting 10 per cent of domestic flights in January to minimise passenger disruption as pay stoushes with two unions go on
Jetstar claims it will have lost $25 million if pay fights with two unions drag into January, with the budget airline planning to cut more flights.
Jetstar will have to cut 10 per cent of domestic flights in January to minimise passenger disruption as pay disputes with unions drag on.Baggage handlers and ramp workers will take protected industrial action again on Thursday and pilots will do low-level work bans until 20 December and the fight looks likely to spread into January.
Jetstar says the industrial action into January combined with the December action is costing the company about $20 million to $25 million."There's no doubt that industrial action is expensive and frustrating, but we have to hold the line on costs or it threatens the long term sustainability of our business," Jetstar chief executive Gareth Evans said in a statement.
But the TWU has a claim for more rest breaks, a guaranteed 12-hour break between shifts, guaranteed 30 hours a week and annual wage increases of four per cent.
