watershed moment for 2000 Qantas workers as court rules against Qantas on outsourcing

Transport Workers Union The Federal Court has ruled against Qantas over the axing and outsourcing of 2,000 ground workers, with baggage handlers, ramp workers and cabin cleaners hoping to get their jobs back as soon as possible. The court stated Qantas axed the workers to prevent them from exercising their rights to bargain for better wages and conditions and to take industrial action. Justice Lee referred to evidence presented in court showing Qantas saw the pandemic as a “transformational opportunity” and that there was a “vanishing window of opportunity” for their airline to make changes. Workers have been eagerly awaiting the ruling, with a TWU survey this week showing three quarters have been unable to secure full-time work since they were sacked by Qantas, and 77% want their jobs back.

Proxy advice changes could increase member costs

“We believe in active management and absolutely insist our managers engage with companies as well,” Lander said.  “We will see what proxy advisers are saying and what the managers are saying, and if there’s a disconnect that’s when we’ll look into a particular issue.  “It’s not a tick-a-box system and we don’t just get a list from proxy advisers and vote that way, there’s a lot more thought put into it.  “It’s far more efficient to use proxy firms – it’s efficient for the companies and it’s efficient for the funds.”  Graham said they did go against the advice of proxy advisers on occasion, but it was not a high proportion of the total votes.
