Travel ling footy fans are on edge after Qantas engineers said they would begin industrial action in Melbourne , just days before the city hosts the AFL grand final. The Qantas Engineers’ Alliance claims “hundreds” of engineers disgruntled over ongoing wage negotiations will strike at all major Australian airports in the next two weeks.
“We’ve held a series of meetings with the unions and made progress on a number of items. We want to reach an agreement that includes pay rises and lifestyle benefits for our people.” Alliance engineers want a 5 per cent per year pay bump, plus a 15 per cent first year payment “to make up for 3.5 years of wage freezes”. The alliance claims the Australian carrier’s management had so far refused to negotiate a fair deal with workers who feel “devalued”.
