A busload of grounded Ansett workers will leave Sydney Airport tomorrow (Thursday September 27) to take their message of saving the airline to regional areas hit hard by the aviation crisis.
ACTU President Sharan Burrow will join the Ansett employees on the bus at the airport. The bus will make a protest stop outside the western Sydney electorate office of Federal Tourism Minister Jackie Kelly, before heading to the regional centre of Bathurst, which has been without air links to Sydney since Ansett was grounded two weeks ago.
