The Transport Workers’ Union is urging the Federal Government to make changes to Jobkeeper to allow Victorian aviation workers shut out of the payment access to it.
TWU Vic/Tas Branch Secretary John Berger said aviation workers shut out of Jobkeeper were struggling with now little hope of picking up even temporary work since the lockdown came into effect. The Federal Government excluded Australian taxpaying workers from the Jobkeeper payment whose companies are owned by foreign governments, such as airline catering and ground services company Dnata.
