Virgin administration
Virgin workers have held strong since the pandemic and shutdown of aviation forced Virgin into administration, and finally the end is in sight.
Our claim
Aviation workers are coming together across Australia to call on the Government to immediately act in developing a national plan which ensures the following commitment for the long term stability and protection of the industry:
- A two airline model
- Government equity in airlines to ensure long term stability
- Accessible and affordable services for regional communities
- Protection and promotion of regional jobs
- Job Keeper for all aviation workers
- Same pay for the same job for all aviation workers
- Safe supply chains
- Capped CEO salaries; and
- Regulation of airports
The fight for AviationKeeper
To stop our essential industry collapsing, we need our jobs and companies protected so that when Australia is ready to fly, we are too.
As part of our call on the Morrison Federal Government to support a national aviation plan, we are demanding the immediate introduction of an AviationKeeper payment system. It is vital that aviation workers are backed in with an AviationKeeper payment system that will:
- Apply to all aviation workers regardless of who their company is owned by
- Be paid on time and fairly
- Extend past the JobKeeper expiry date of March 2021
- Only be phased out in line with the reopening of skies and borders
