Hundreds of Qantas engineers across Australia are set to stop work over pay and conditions as part of major strike action scheduled to take place over the next two weeks.

In their fight for increased wages, the alliance is calling for 5 per cent per year and a 15 per cent first year payment to make up for three-and-a-half years of wage freezes.
