ASU Submission
The ASU is the largest Australian union covering aviation industry workers, with members in the widest number of companies and activities in the industry. Our members work for Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Blue, Regional Express, QantasLink, Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, Emirates, Malaysia Airlines, Thai, Garuda, Cathay, Air Niugini, South African Airlines, Air France – KLM, Air New Zealand and
twenty other overseas airlines, as well as passenger handlers in the industry like Menzies Aviation Services and Toll Dnata, and airfreight companies such as Australian Air Express.
The ASU has engaged in the development of the National Aviation Policy from the beginning. In June 2008 the ASU provided a submission (“the first submission”) to the National Aviation Policy Issues Paper that raised issues important to workers in the Aviation industry.
We are pleased to see some of the issues we raised in the first submission have been addressed in the National Aviation Policy Green Paper however the ASU believes that greater attention is required on some key areas of concern including Air Rage, ASIC issues, air cargo and terminal security and industry skills that were covered in our original submission.
