Qantas ASU members are invited to attend meetings about the upcoming EBA negotiations. Some of you may have already received an invitation about the meetings in your workplace. These meetings will involve a discussion about the Draft Claim (attached) with members asked to vote for or against the proposal.

The Draft Claim was developed in response to the results of the recent ASU members survey. It has been endorsed by ASU delegates from across the country. Now it is up to members to decide if this is the claim we will pursue in negotiations. It is extremely important that members attend so that you have your say and be part of our campaign for winning respect at Qantas. So that members can be part of this process- below are the list of all meetings scheduled thus far. If you are unable to attend the meeting in your particular workplace you are invited to attend meetings at Airport Central (22nd April) or the Holiday Inn (28th April).
