Union threatens to disrupt Fiji flights
The Australian Transport Workers Union is threatening to disrupt flights to Fiji in protest against the country’s military regime.
The union warned that travellers heading to Fiji can expect disruption unless a government decree, which removes Fijian workers’ rights, is withdrawn.
The union says a draft decree issued by the Fiji government in May erodes workers’ rights.
The union’s national secretary Tony Sheldon said workers would refuse to load or unload planes and would not refuel planes operated by Qantas, Air Pacific and Jetstar which are flying to and from Fiji.
Sheldon said the Transport Workers Union will be seeking support from unions in New Zealand.
