The airline is being sued by the Transport Workers' Union in the Federal Court after the firm laid off almost 1700 ground staff in November 2020.

Qantas workers unlawfully retrenched as COVID-19 gripped Australia in 2020 would have lost their jobs anyway as the virulent Delta strain reared its head a year later, a judge has heard.

The airline previously argued that the workers would have been retrenched anyway in November 2020 and should receive no payout. This situation mirrored the "unusual concatenation of events" that Justice Lee found occurred in 2020 regarding COVID-19, lockdowns and border closures, Dalton said.
