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 develop a national plan which ensures the long-term stability and protection of the industry. That means:
- A two airline model
- Government stakes in airlines
- Accessible and affordable services for regional communities
- Protection and promotion of regional jobs
- AviationKeeper 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 we support aviation workers with an AviationKeeper payment system that will:
- Apply to all aviation workers regardless of who owns their company
- 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
