Qantas workers slam Australia's biggest airline: Jobkeeper, EBA, Swissport, Alan Joyce

Daily Mail  

Furious Qantas employees and sacked workers have lifted the lid on what it's like to work for the 'Spirit of Australia' and levelled extraordinary allegations against the airline amid a bitter court battle that could result in a multi-million dollar payout. 'The FAAA ran a scare campaign against the new deal, claiming it would mean redundancies and offshoring, despite the fact that we're currently hiring new crew in Australia,' Qantas International CEO Andrew David said. The new EBA proposed by Qantas want to see international workers aboard the A330 planes - but flight staff rejected it because the planes don't have sleeping quarters for workers Employees were warned if they rejected the new EBA and Qantas took the issue to Fair Work to have the current agreement torn up, they would face going onto the government's award system and see their pay slashed. Qantas has instead turned to its Auckland-based flight crew to work aboard the A330 long haul flights, as New Zealand workers aren't protected by the same rest laws as Australian staff. 'HEADS MUST ROLL': Transport Workers Union's damning statement against Qantas Outsourced ground and baggage crew have defeated Qantas a second time as a full court of the Federal Court rejects the airline’s attempt to overturn a ruling that it sacked workers illegally, pushing the matter to compensation and penalties hearings.
