Sydney Airport security workers strike Friday for permanent jobs
Certis security staff strike Friday morning and evening demanding full-time positions and stable schedules after years of cost-cutting.
Security workers at Sydney Airport will strike Friday. The strike runs 6am to 10am, then 5pm to 9pm.
The workers want full-time jobs, fair rosters and no cuts to part-time hours. The airport has used cost cuts to drive down wages.
Earlier this year it told Certis workers they could lose their jobs entirely if the company's contract was not renewed. Crisis talks are set for Thursday.
Sydney Airport made record profit of $584.3 million in 2024-25, yet keeps cutting costs that unions say creates unsafe conditions for workers and passengers.
