Government capitulates as pilots win wage rise
The Australian Government agreed to pay wage claims exceeding the arbitration award for TAA aircrew, lifting salaries up to 24 percent. The move overturned earlier tribunal guidance of 17 percent and drew criticism from ministers, while ACTU and ALP leaders announced the deal before the pilots’ federation meeting in Melbourne.
Government retreat over salaries battle in airline row
Hawke told the ABC that TAA would make pay rises for pilots to align with Ansett, amid clashes with TAA management and the Prime Minister. He suggested the government would not intervene, noting talks with Mr Wan and Mr Tones. Ansett pressed higher wages, while unions faced criticism from the ACTU executive. Up to 12,800 workers faced danger of layoff if grounding continued. Ansett challenged a High Court ruling on ministerial powers while keeping its August approved fares and a 24 percent pilots’ rise.
