Qantas has forged ahead with plans to outsource 2000 baggage handling and cleaning jobs despite facing a court challenge over the redundancies, sparking swift condemnation from the Transport Workers Union.

TWU described Qantas's decision to push ahead with the outsourcing program while the matter was still before the court as "appalling". "Last year, they were forced to go through the humiliation of bidding for their own jobs, only to be sacked in the New Year anyway. Now the airline will never again employ another baggage handler, cabin cleaner or pushback driver."
