The regular meeting between Airport management your Delegates and Organiser was held on 15 October. Below is a summary of the issues discussed and outcomes of the meeting.

HDA’s

The MOCO position is required and within budget and is now advertised. The Chairman’s lounge is to be reduced to 3 lines. The gaps will be filled with other staff providing a training opportunity for up skilling bringing it to a total of 4 shifts.

New Terminal

The issue of cooking facilities was discussed but details have yet to be determined. Risk assessment to follow in future.

Roller doors in Baggage Services/Ticket counter

John Mills has ensured Construction Control have approval to go ahead and not sure what the delay is. May need to look at using alternative company.

Part Time annual hours cap being exceeded

Recruitment completed. Successful candidates due to start on FT roster 4 November 09.

Roster and Annual leave

Request was put to management to have roster published showing current week and 4 weeks in advance. Dave Mayo to investigate what is needed to achieve this.

Agreed that a roster committee will be established that will include Sue Cohen and 1 staff representative from the 4 areas (MOCO, Lounges, level 4 and level 3) with a Union delegate to make up at least 1 of these positions.

Signs

A request was put to management to have the same sign as the Business class lounge (about abuse will not be tolerated) at other parts of the terminal. Dave Mayo advised he has no problem with this and will try and locate the required number.

The emergency EXIT sign on the door in the lunchroom that has no handle and is bolted shut is to be removed ASAP.
