"This is not just about pay. It's about repeated proposals by the airline weeks out from Christmas to pay them less than colleagues who have already settled and to cut into key conditions, including overtime rates.

I thought Luxon hired a company to mediate this type of stuff or at least that’s what I’d read previously.

Anyway, still time to sort and abort.
