EA Bargaining Update
Efforts by your Pilot Representative Mark Lynch and the AFAP to finalise the negotiations for a new enterprise agreement are on-going, with progress certainly being achieved, but at a slower rate than we had expected.
At the moment Mark and the AFAP are reviewing the latest draft of an EA, provided to us by LifeFlight's lawyers late last Wednesday (31/7). An initial review of key elements of that document has raised some questions, which will need to be discussed with LifeFlight management and their lawyers further. However, before we initiate that discussion, we are in the process of reviewing all aspects of the document, to ensure that the draft document overall aligns with our understanding of previous agreements that we had with LifeFlight during the bargaining process.
You can expect a further Update in the near future, when we have put a formal response about the draft document to Lifeflight management.
Meanwhile, please note that AFAP Senior Industrial Officer David Stephens is currently unavailable. As such, please direct any enquiries to either:
- Mark Lynch; or
- AFAP Senior Industrial Officer James Mattner (email - james@afap.org.au or phone - 0477 001 817).
