Air Pacific secures injunction against Australian industrial action

Fiji’s National Carrier, Air Pacific has announced that it has successfully secured an injunction against the Australian Transport Workers Union to stop it from pursuing unlawful industrial action that would have impacted the airline’s operations.

Air Pacific’s attorney in Sydney, Simon Brady of Clayton Utz, said the industrial action that was discussed in the press and proposed by the Transport Workers Union is unlawful under Australia’s Fair Work Act, and they are pleased for Air Pacific that the injunction has been granted by Fair Work Australia.

Air Pacific spokesperson, Samisoni Pareti said the statements made recently by Transport Workers Union not only threatened to harm Air Pacific but the Fijian economy and the people of Fiji.

He says the airline’s flight schedule and operations remain unaffected.
