Aviation Industry Meeting
Resolution
This meeting of aviation workers expresses its outrage at the plans by the Howard Government to radically reduce industrial relations protections available to us and fellow Australian workers, these changes include the:
Remove employment conditions from awards.
Change the way minimum wages are set to make them lower.
Use individual contracts to undercut existing rights and conditions.
Keep unions out of workplaces and reduce workers' negotiating and bargaining rights.
Abolish redundancy pay and unfair dismissals protection for people who work in small businesses.
Reduce the powers of the independent Industrial Relations Commission to settle disputes and set fair minimum standards at work.
We Believe that Australians should have the following basic rights at work:
A strong safety net of decent minimum wages and conditions.
Proper rights for workers to reject individual contracts and bargain collectively for decent pay and conditions in collective agreements.
The right to join a union and to be represented by a union.
A strong, independent Industrial Relations Commission to settle disputes and ensure fair minimum wages and conditions.
Aviation workers are committed to assist the public to fly safely and without delay we call on aviation employers to commit to:
support the Government's plans to take away our basic rights at work.
use the Government's laws to reduce our wages or work conditions.
Negotiate collectively with us and our unions, and not force us on to individual contracts.
Give our union access to us at our workplace.
We support the ACTU's week of action from 27 June and will participate in activities where possible.Now more than ever people need to be active in a union.
