Skydivers at Experience Co are on strike over pay and job status, halting operations across Australia.
Skydivers at Australia’s Experience Co are on strike at eight sites across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, halting operations during peak season over unresolved pay disputes.
The Australian Workers Union says the company’s proposed enterprise agreement would eliminate productivity bonuses, cutting some instructors’ pay by up to $100,000 and reclassifying them as gig workers.
The union argues this undermines safety and fairness given the life-threatening nature of tandem skydiving.
Experience Co denies the claims, stating its offers include six-figure salaries and calling the strike “unreasonable.” Talks have stalled since February, with no agreement reached on the first enterprise agreement since skydivers were in-house in 2022.
Affected customers are being offered refunds or rescheduling.
