Support cabin crew on strike for better jobs at Air New Zealand

Thousands of wide body cabin crew lost their jobs in the pandemic. Air New Zealand is now hiring hundreds of them back on minimum wage to crew their 787 and 777 fleets.

Returned crew need better pay and a decent job, 44 cabin crew leaders are on strike to make it happen. The 44 are not striking for themselves. They are striking for the sake of their fellow crew.

In response the airline has been selectively targeting the 44 striking workers and suspending them from work.

You can support this small group of striking crew. They have put themselves at the forefront and have lost their own pay for the greater good of all wide body cabin crew.

Use of funds

Funds collected through this page will be used to provide financial support to workers targeted for suspension by the airline and distributed proportionately across all affected members.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
