Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said more tough decisions will be made as the aviation industry continues to weather the COVID-19 storm. Picture: Bianca De Marchi/AAPTWU National Secretary Michael Kaine says the Federal Government should recall the JobKeeper money paid to Qantas. Picture: Justin LloydSince Tuesday’s announcement of further job cuts, Mr Kaine has written to Mr Morrison about the airline’s latest employment decision.
“It has used public money to subsidise their wages and is now downgrading their jobs … These jobs still exist, Qantas just wants to outsource them to pay workers less. As part of the airline’s $2.7 billion loss announced last week, the Qantas Group received $515 million gross in government support. The 10 airports where Qantas proposes to outsource this work are Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Townsville.
What part of “Stay Home - Stay Local” does the TWU not understand. No wonder Unions are now irrelevant No income + no profits = no business + no employees. We can’t all be Union organisers, SuperFund Directors, ALP politicians and Public Servants.
Joyce to pay back all his bonus’ 😥😥😥😥
I feel for all those impacted who have lost their jobs. I hope they are being well supported with this transition and are receiving access to counselling.
If Qantas returns millions of dollars - how will Qantas pay any wages?
Outsourcing? So get rid of jobs and then employ others at a lower pay rate? Sounds legit.....
No way joycey is gonna do that he won’t be able to justify his massive Xmas bonus that way!

Qantas announces 2500 more job losses due to coronavirusQantas has announced up to 2500 jobs will be axed and all ground crew roles will be outsourced across 11 major Australian airports due to the impact of coronavirus. While keeping the CEOs obscene salary intact. As long as Mr Joyce still gets his eye watering bonus and annual salary of course... WTF would they do that in the middle of this crisis. These companies should be made to put money aside to cover situations and difficult times like this. Qantas has let down their team , time and time again and expected Government to bail them out. Meaning the public purse.
