Air New Zealand creates new jobs

A statement from Air New Zealand said a move to outsource accounting services for Ansett Australia would create 50-70 additional positions in New Zealand.

The new roles would most probably be data-entry jobs.

The Australian Services Union has cried foul.

The union is claiming up to 180 staff in Australia could potentially lose their jobs.

But Ansett officials said only 50 staff would be affected by the switch in accounting systems.

Ansett spokesman Geoff Lynch said the work, most of which will switch to a Mexican firm, was already done for Ansett Australia by outside firms.
