Australia’s transport and aviation unions sure do have their work cut out for them this month. Spare a thought for the spittle-covered mega phones.

Jetstar claims the union handed out vouchers to strikers as an act of “desperation”, but the TWU says there’s nothing out of the ordinary about compensating workers.

Meanwhile, Travel Weekly staff are going on strike to protest a significant drop in the number of Tim Tams on offer in the office kitchen.

Jetstar pilots are threatening industrial action over the silly season due to a breakdown of enterprise agreement negotiations.

France’s economy minister has warned that the airline could “disappear”. We hope they don’t take their delicious croissants with them.

In what’s fast becoming Groundhog Day for Australian airports, strikes are set to continue for up to six hours a day, with travellers urged to prepare for delays.
