Air NZ considering Union proposal to keep engineering work in NZ
Air NZ and the engineering unions are under way, mainly focused on the unions' proposal for wide-body engineering. The talks will go on until the end of January, and follow the announcement by Air NZ in December that it would pursue its step to send heavy engine work overseas, but is willing to consider a proposal from the unions to keep the work in New Zealand. The National Business Review reports:
That proposal, developed by the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union and the Aviation and Marine Engineers' Association in conjunction with financial consultants Michael Stiassny and Brendon Gibson of Ferrier Hodgson, followed the airline's announcement on October 19 that it intended sending all heavy engineering work overseas, with the loss of 617 New Zealand jobs.
