Union Urges Super Funds to Probe Potential Sale of Aviation Firefighting Service
An Australian union is calling on major superannuation funds to investigate the potential sale of the country's aviation rescue and firefighting services. The union has raised serious concerns about the implications of privatizing such a critical safety function. They are urging the pension funds, which are considered potential investors, to conduct thorough due diligence on any proposed deal. The move highlights fears that a change in ownership could compromise safety standards and affect employee conditions at airports nationwide.
