Company rejects flight disruption claims
Posted 1 hour 23 minutes ago
The company that provides fuel to airlines at Sydney Airport has rejected claims that flights will be disrupted by a union strike next week.
Members of the Transport Workers Union are planning to walk off the job on Wednesday, arguing casual colleagues are being offered less money to do the same job.
The union says Australian Fuel Services has threatened to lock out employees for a week if they strike.
But the company's Felicity Wilson says the claims are untrue.
"It's concerning that they keep pushing that message," she said.
"What we've done continuously is to proactively negotiate with employees to try and get a positive outcome to this enterprise agreement that is best for them, for the company and for our customers."
The claims the strike will affect Qantas and Jetstar customers but Australian Fuel Services is confident it can manage the impact.
