Air New Zealand says it has been made aware by E tū union that staff have voted to take industrial action.

“We are aware that cabin crew represented by E tū union have voted to take industrial action,” Air New Zealand’s chief executive officer Nikhil Ravishankar said in a statement.

“However, no formal notice of a strike has been received.”

He said negotiations were scheduled to continue with the union later this week to “progress efforts to reach a fair and sustainable agreement that recognises the important work our crew do”.
