Opinion

The union representing cabin crew has launched an aggressive campaign against Air New Zealand as a four-day strike gets under way.

Full-page advertisements appear today in each of the country's major daily newspapers including the Herald, expressing the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union's view that "Air New Zealand are ripping us off".

The advertisements claim that a "corporate trick" by Air New Zealand - which owns subsidiary company Zeal 320, with 240 flight attendants who walked off the job after midnight last night - has meant a pay disparity of "thousands of dollars a year less" than other cabin crew performing the same duties.
