The Transport Workers Union has called for Qantas CEO Alan Joyce to be sacked.Both Qantas and the union appealled, with Qantas objecting to the finding that it infringed the Fair Work Act and the union appealing again for Qantas to reinstate the workers.delivered on Wednesday morning, the Full Court dismissed both appeals and upheld its initial ruling that Qantas was partially motivated to avoid future industrial action but also that the airline did not need to re-hire the workers.
Qantas will face penalties and potentially have to pay compensation to workers, but this is yet to be determined. Qantas said it would seek to appeal the Full Federal Court’s decision to the High Court and has maintained its decision to outsource its ground handling function is lawful.
