The AIPA, ALAEA, FAAA and TWU have being working towards common goals for many years and recognise that it is in the best interests of aviation workers for the unions to enter into a federation in light of the challenges ahead.

The Qantas Engineers' Alliance represents Australia's largest aviation unions. The Australian Workers’ Union is the nation’s oldest and largest blue-collar trade union representing over 135,000 working men&women and their families. Since our formation in 1886 we have a proud record of standing up for working families from all walks of life, today our members live and work in all states and territories.
