Qantas has lost its final appeal in the High Court for a decision to outsource 1,700 workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 illegally.

Sacked workers in the courtroom pumped their fists hearing the decision.

The Australian airline has been embroiled in several scandals since the pandemic began.

Australian transport unions have today won a huge victory in court, as the sacking of 1,700 ground and baggage staff by Qantas has been proven to be illegal. This is a massive victory for the workers who have not stopped fighting for justice since they were outsourced.  The unanimous decision was handed down by Australia’s seven High Court judges, the largest illegal sacking in Australian history. 

Qantas has apologised for the "personal impact" its outsourcing decision had on workers after the High Court ruled it had illegally sacked more than 1,600 workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
