Airport Link successful renegotiation of their Enterprise Agreement 2022

Congratulations to all members employed with the Airport Link on a successful renegotiation of their Enterprise agreement 2022, in a cooperative approach by both parties.

Members and the company decided to defer the 2021 EBA negotiations to concentrate on maintaining full employment following the devastating coronavirus that affected this operation severely due to the lack of air travel.

The new Enterprise Agreement will provide a 4% increase from July with an overall increase of 14.25% over the next 4 years.

Other improvements to the EA

• Redundancy clause for employees over four years continuous service which includes two weeks payment for each year of continuous service up to a maximum of 15 years’ service.

• Employees will be entitled to up to 22.8 hours of additional paid sick leave to assist with recovery of Covid-19 if they have a nil sick leave (under clause 22 Personal/ carer’s) balance. Casuals would be considered on a case-by-case basis.

• Improved Casual Conversion Clause allowing for long term casual employees to be converted to full-time employment. Finally, we would like to make a special mention to our Enterprise Agreement delegates for their hard work and dedication during the negotiations. Mari Laukkanen, MD Saifur Rahman and Typhis Marley.
