The ruling leaves the door open for hefty compensation despite the ‘commercial imperatives’ defence.
The workers union wins the case against Qantas over 1,700 ground staff layoffs and calls for the airline’s board overhaul.
The 102-year-old airline is already under fire over soaring ticket prices, allegations it sold tickets for cancelled flights, and claims that it pressured the government to stop international rival Qatar Airways from offering more flights to Australia. The court said Qantas had failed to disprove that one reason for the mass sacking was to prevent the workers from taking industrial action in the future.The Transport Workers Union , which took Qantas to court over the layoffs, hailed the decision and called for the airline’s board to be replaced.
“The final act of this board should be to strip Alan Joyce of his bonuses and follow him out the door.”He called on Qantas’s new chief executive Vanessa Hudson to publicly apologise to the sacked workers and commit to a “speedy and non-adversarial” approach to court hearings on compensation and penalties.“As we have said from the beginning, we deeply regret the personal impact the outsourcing decision had on all those affected and we sincerely apologise for that,” it said in a statement.
