Transport Workers Union The Federal Court has ruled against Qantas over the axing and outsourcing of 2,000 ground workers, with baggage handlers, ramp workers and cabin cleaners hoping to get their jobs back as soon as possible. The court stated Qantas axed the workers to prevent them from exercising their rights to bargain for better wages and conditions and to take industrial action. Justice Lee referred to evidence presented in court showing Qantas saw the pandemic as a “transformational opportunity” and that there was a “vanishing window of opportunity” for their airline to make changes. Workers have been eagerly awaiting the ruling, with a TWU survey this week showing three quarters have been unable to secure full-time work since they were sacked by Qantas, and 77% want their jobs back.
