Whose Affiliated with the AFAP?
Interesting to see that in the ACTU submission(#50) that reference is made to endorsing affiliated unions of AIPA, VIPA, ALAEA and ASU. This must give this group a better listening voice and more industrial power when dealing with management. No doubt the TWU that also has members in the aviation industry is also affiliated with the ACTU, notwithstanding a sumission to the Senate Inquiry has not been made,
But, notable absentees from all these affiliated unions were the AFAP and FAAA. This was evident in the 1989 dispute where the AFAP was not supported by other unions.
