Tiger cries foul over Australian media report

The airline said a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation contained various inaccuracies.

Tiger Airways issued a statement referring to the media report by the ABC News on 5 September 2011 entitled “Tiger flight attendants still waiting for money”, which alleged that certain ex-employees of Tiger Airways Australia Pty. Ltd. were threatening legal action in relation to redundancy payments.

Here’s the clarification:

All employees in Adelaide who were willing to relocate to and take up positions in Melbourne have been offered relocation packages with Tiger Australia, and redundancy packages will be paid in due course to the affected ex-employees who have chosen not to relocate to Melbourne. Tiger Australia will make the relevant payments to the affected ex-employees in accordance with their employment agreements and the applicable law, and in connection with this, Tiger Australia will work closely with the affected ex-employees and the union.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
