Less than two weeks before the busy Christmas period, Jetstar pilots are staging the strike for four hours on both Saturday and Sunday. Jetstar workers are planning another strike next week, on Thursday December 19, just six days before Christmas. The disruption comes after the budget airline refused demands for annual pay increases, minimum job hours and safety improvements. Jetstar staff were requesting more rest breaks, a guaranteed 12-hour break between shifts and 30 hour working weeks. The strike, supported by the Australia Federation of Air Pilots, follows a walk-off by ground crew on Friday at airports around the country.
