QF maintenance jobs still under threat
Unions are apparently increasingly nervous that up to 1000 maintenance jobs at the Boeing 737 heavy-repair base at Tullamarine will diappear in the near future.
“We have grave concerns that the decision has already been made,” said ALAEA federal secretary Steve Purvinas.
Qantas, however, has flatly rejected these claims.
“No decision has been made,” said Qantas’ head of engineering and maintenance, David Cox.”We expect to finalise the review in September,” he said.
The Australian Manufacturing and Workers Union, with 300 members at the Tullamarine maintenance base, is expected to push Qantas for feedback on the review of its engineering operations this week.
Assistant national secretary Glenn Thompson has warned that Qantas should consult unions and its workers before any decision on Tullamarine.
“We’re not going to cop a situation like Sydney,” Mr Thompson said, referring to the way the airline announced the closure of its 747 repair base without talking to unions first.
