Air traffic workers seek pay rise
Posted 28 minutes ago
The nation's air traffic controllers are seeking a pay rise of between 40 and 60 per cent.
Civil Air, the union representing 1,000 employees, says there's a shortage of air traffic controllers and the rise could help increase the number of people in the profession.
Civil Air executive secretary Peter McGuane says they hope it will also stop air traffic controllers heading overseas.
"We believe that the salaries that we've proposed are comparable to those being ... paid internationally," he said.
