AIRLINE UNIONS TO UNITE UNDER NEW FEDERATION

Thursday May 6th 2010: In a significant step for tens of thousands of workers in the Australian aviation industry, the Transport Worker’s Union (TWU), Flight Attendants Association of Australia (Domestic & Regional Division) (FAAA) and the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers (ALAEA) will today launch a new Australian Aviation Unions Federation (AUF).

Comprising the combined membership of each member union, the AUF aims to become the strongest and most significant voice representing the industrial, community and political interests and aspirations of Australian aviation workers and their families.

At formation, the combined membership of AUF shall exceed 20,000 members in aviation and related industries, making it the biggest representative of organized labor in the aviation industry from inception. With a diversity of membership covering the work of flight attendants in our skies, the engineering and technical staff keeping our airlines flying and the ramp, catering, baggage, cleaning, freight, refueling and customer service staff that handle customer needs on ground, it will also be the most representative organization in the industry.  “From this strategic position of representative strength, our objective in forming this Federation is to unite our respective expertise, skills and experience to create a stronger voice for aviation workers and their families,” TWU National Secretary Tony Sheldon said.

“Forming this new strategic federation makes sense for flight attendants and their families. It will allow us to deliver a safer, better and more rewarding industry by drawing on the Federation’s combined skills, experience and resources,” FAAA Domestic and Regional Secretary Jo Ann Davidson said.

“Through AUF we will have access to cabin crew, baggage handlers, caters, chefs, refueling staff and cleaners. It will mean that as engineers and technical staff we have a real say in determining the future of our industry with real power,” ALAEA Federal Secretary Steve Purvinas said.
