Qantas Throws Gauntlet To Unions By Grounding Fleet And Locking Out Union Employees


Recommended Posts

Posted

Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has thrown down the gauntlet on union strikes by taking the unprecedented step of grounding 108 domestic and long-haul aircraft effective at 5pm on 29-Oct-2011. Qantas is forced to ground its fleet after locking out employees members of the ALAEA, TWU, and AIPA unions from 8pm 31-Oct-2011. These unions fly and maintain Qantas aircraft. Mr Joyce said the grounding would go on for as long as it takes for unions come to terms.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

I read the article. I did not see why talks broke down. Also I did not see what the union is asking for in terms on wages and benefits, or what management has offered. I wonder who will blink first.

Closing all but the one in News Clippings. We are trying to keep up but sometimes there can be confusion. ;)

Can't merge topics due to breaking search engines. I did duplicate my News quotes in the current open topic though.
