Dozens of aviation workers including ground crew, cleaners and catering staff have staged protests at Melbourne Airport over pay and working conditions which they say risk safety and security.
The aviation employees and Transport Workers Union members protested at the international departures terminal at Melbourne airport on Monday morning, but their action did not hold up passengers.
"Low wages, chronic understaffing, appalling conditions and cost-cutting results in injuries among airport staff and threatens public safety," TWU Victorian secretary John Berger said.
