World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
Jetstar staff represented by the Australian Services Union have announced plans to stop charging passengers for baggage and seat selection fees as part of an ongoing industrial protest. The action follows the airline's recent introduction of a controversial fee for access to overhead storage bins.
The work-to-rule protest is intended to pressure the airline during negotiations for higher pay. By waiving these fees, staff aim to disrupt the company's revenue streams while advocating for improved employment terms.
