Support Qantas Valet Parking workers
|
21 February 2008
By ASU-Victorian Private Sector Branch About 170 workers across major airports in Australia currently need your support. In the dying days of AWAs in Australia, the new firm contracted to provide Qantas' Valet Parking wants to put all staff on a five year AWA. In Victoria alone, where 70 people are affected, staff are being forced to sign an AWA that takes away shift penalties, overtime payments, paid meal breaks and job classifications. It's a last minute attempt by a new company to have customer service staff, drivers and car washers, employed under the harsh and unfair WorkChoices AWAs. The new Qantas Valet Parking contract is due to commence on March 1. Show Qantas Valet Parking staff that you support them and their desire to bargain collectively by emailing Equity Valet Parking Director John Demetre, with a copy to Shadow Minister for Employment, Business and Workplace Relations Julie Bishop.
