Legal and Industrial Matters

Our industrial and legal staff are based in the Union’s Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong offices.

The Union's Industrial Department represents the wage interests and conditions of employment for Collective Agreements.

Industrial advice and representation is also available for a range of individual matters.

If you have an individual Industrial complaint which is unable to be resolved at the local level your Union Organiser, in consultation with your local delegate, may make arrangements for your issue to be reviewed by an Industrial Officer.

Your NNT are very cautious about what has been proposed; from cashing out of annual leave to the increased use of temporary employees. Qantas' 'flexibility' comes at the expense of a permanent workforce and work-life balance.
