The voluntary administration process
We will explain the voluntary administration process in today’s meeting. There will be some important steps throughout the administration process and we will update you every step of the way.
The ASU will be continuing our fight to keep Virgin flying
Please support each other by taking action:
- Keep up the pressure on the Government to #SaveVirgin and #SaveAviation by sharing a video or photo of you talking about why Scott Morrison needs to step up and save Virgin Australia and the jobs of you and 16,000 other Australians.
- Share this update with family and friends on social media and ask them to act! You can email this update to your friends, family and colleagues to share.
- Encourage other colleagues at Virgin Australia to join the ASU. Join online at asu.asn.au/asujoin.
