USU/ASU members have contacted us about Emirates’ proposal for Stand Downs for the period 1 April to 30 June 2020
The USU and ASU are doing everything in our power to keep people in jobs. We have come to an agreement with the Federal Government and Employers to temporarily vary the Clerks Award.
Virgin Australia is issuing Stand Down notices TODAY for all employees covered by the Virgin Australia Ground Crew Agreement 2018 (‘the EBA’). They have also commenced an Expression Of Interest (‘an EOI) process for opting into allocations for remaining work to run the reduced flight schedule, as well as voluntary redundancies.
The Virgin Australia Group announced Stand Downs yesterday for many other parts of the business. They have also announced that the International network is not going to continue flying the current schedule after we are through the COVID-19 outbreak. This means that some redundancies have also been announced.
