Support Toll Dnata workers at Australian airports
Result:
Thank you to all tho who signed the petition in support of these workers.
Toll Dnata members are now at least being paid in accordance with the Award, following a determination by the Workplace Authority’s that the contracts failed the No Disadvantage Test in September 2008.
ASU members are waiting for a determination from the Workplace Ombudsman about possible breaches of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Cth) by Toll and the full amount of underpayments of wages owed to them as a result of the agreements having failed the no disadvantage test.
The fight for a collective agreement, with conditions similar to other airlines workers, continues.

From: Airline and Airport Workers at Melbourne Airport
We, the undersigned aviation workers, are concerned about the employment practices of Toll Dnata Airport Services. This company has hired employees to do work for overseas airlines on sub-standard individual contracts, paying a flat rate of pay for shift workers without adequate compensation for Award conditions.
As the Minister, we seek your immediate intervention into this case to ensure that Australians working in the aviation industry do not have their wages and conditions undermined by renegade employers who race to the bottom to increase profits.
We remind you that Australians voted against Work Choices last election and we call on the ALP to make real changes to the Work Choices laws to stop this from happening to Australian workers in the future.
