ASU Members are standing our ground on fair rostering!

The Australian Services Union (ASU) has been at the Fair Work Commission, making a stand for the right to disconnect and roster justice for airlines workers.

You've told us about the endless cycle of last-minute shift changes and the constant need to check in with work—even on your days off. We know it’s more than a nuisance; it's a barrier to the downtime you rightfully deserve.

What We’re Doing: Yesterday, we advocated for a firm change that will make a difference. We want to see the Right to Disconnect enshrined in all awards, for all workers – including airlines workers, setting clear boundaries that protect your personal time.

This means no more calls, no more emails, and no sudden shift changes after you’ve clocked off. This means rosters that are fair, stable, and predictable. Already we’ve been pushing for a minimum of 28 days' notice for all schedule changes and a cap of five consecutive workdays. The Right to Disconnect is another way, our Union is trying to win roster justice for airlines workers.

Why It Matters: The reality is that being 'always on' doesn't just wear you down—it impacts your health, your family time, and even your productivity at work. By securing the Right to Disconnect, we aim to boost your wellbeing and ensure you can genuinely enjoy your time off without work hanging over your head.

ASU members are advocating for a job that supports their life, not consumes it.

Stay Tuned: We'll keep you updated with all the developments in our campaign. Keep an eye on your inbox for our next steps and how you can get involved in making sure these changes happen.
