Qantas unlawfully retrenched almost 1700 ground staff during the COVID-19 pandemic

 


This morning (Monday) Justice Michael Lee ordered Qantas pay $170,000 to three employees who were used as test cases during a lengthy hearing in March and May.

In July 2021, the judge found the lay-offs were designed to deprive workers of being able to bargain for a new enterprise agreement and, as such, contravened employment law.
