Formal merger creates New Zealand’s biggest aviation union
Flight attendants have voted overwhelmingly to formally merge with E tū, to form the country’s biggest aviation union.
The Flight Attendants and Related Services Association, or FARSA has been in an operational merger with E tū for the past two years.
FARSA President, Marja Lubeck says members have voted over the past fortnight on the merger, with 90 percent in favour, which is a vote of confidence in the strength it offers members.
“We are now a part of the country’s biggest private sector union. We cover 50 percent of all aviation workers in New Zealand, with 7000 members and growing,” says Marja.
“We always believed we were stronger together and that’s been endorsed by our members. This is an exciting opportunity to create a new union for aviation workers, including a stronger voice for young workers, who can look forward to the many benefits this merger will bring.”
