Yesterday, the Company and the unions attended a second compulsory conciliation conference before Commissioner Redford as part of the protected action ballot process.
We are pleased to report that the conference was highly constructive and that the AFAP, AIPA and TWU have now reached an in-principle agreement with Jetstar that the unions will be recommending to members.
This is a significant development and reflects the positive progress made through the conciliation process. We expect to share details of the in-principle agreement with members in the coming days once the formal documentation has been received from Commissioner Redford.
While the protected action ballot process will continue to its conclusion, the in-principle agreement is subject to an undertaking from all unions that no protected industrial action will be notified before the proposed agreement has been put to a vote of the pilot group
We appreciate the support, patience and engagement shown by members throughout this process and look forward to providing a further detailed update.
If you have any questions, your pilot representatives and AFAP industrial officers Deanna Cain, Pat Larkins or Andrew Molnar are available to assist via
jetstar@afap.org.au or call (03) 9928 5737.
Members can also engage constructively with AFAP pilot representatives and industrial staff via the members-only AFAP Telegram forum
here.
Regards,
AFAP Jetstar Negotiating Team
