Aviation workers and TWU members protested today at Tullamarine Airport to let passengers know that, beneath the shiny facade of the airport, there’s an ugly underside to the industry where workers are struggling to make ends meet.
The protest was part of a National Day of Action where aviation workers stood together to tell employers up the supply chain that poverty wages and part time work is not good enough.
Many aviation workers are kept in part-time jobs and work as few as 60 hours a month, they are saying that #PovertyDoesntFly and are demanding the Same Pay for the Same Job.
As the economic employer for aviation workers on the ground and the air, Airport Corporations have a responsibility to ensure #safeandsecureskies.
