Your contract of employment is a very important document, and forms the legal basis for your appointment as a pilot for the Virgin Group. An employment contract, or in our case, an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) is a very complex document which governs many parts of our work and home life. Getting it right is paramount.
How VIPA approaches EBA contract negotiation
VIPA believes that EBA negotiations should be approached in a conciliatory and professional manner. We believe strongly that there are many ways in which we can work with our employer to increase our job satisfaction, conditions and remuneration, whilst helping the Virgin Group to strengthen its operation with a content and engaged workforce. Our aim is to achieve our objectives through professional and good faith bargaining, to ensure we protect both our members futures, and that of our employer.
Why VIPA is the best organisation to represent you for your EBA
The negotiating team from VIPA consists of current Virgin Group pilots, who are directly affected by the outcome of the negotiations. Whilst not all fleets and ranks can be represented personally on the negotiating team, we consult closely with each fleet and rank to ensure their views are represented accurately.
VIPA is strongly committed to consulting with our members through surveys, updates, newsletters, information meetings and social events, as well as conversations 'on the line', so that we can be sure we are representing our members views correctly.
