The Transport Workers Union plans a four‑hour strike at Sydney Airport this Friday, with stoppages in the morning and evening.
The strike is aimed at security contractor Certis and Sydney Airport Corporation over outstanding employment claims, and the union says the dispute is not with passengers. It expects delays ranging from minor to longer and notified the company on Monday. The action comes as Western Sydney International Airport is due to open later this month, and the union wants the new airport to provide secure, full‑time jobs, warning that inadequate staffing and unpredictable rosters could create safety risks in security screening and tarmac activities. Outstanding claims include wage increases, job‑security provisions, improved rostering and pathways for part‑time workers to move into full‑time positions.
