Qantas ground workers unlawfully sacked in 2020 at the height of the pandemic to receive an overall $120m in a hard fought victory for the Transport Workers Union. That’s about $66k each but small compared to compensating for mental and financial stress qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases…

It has been a privilege and career highlight to represent the TWU Australia in achieving this extraordinary outcome against Qantas . My thanks to a stellar team of lawyers and to the union members, delegates and officials who kept the faith.


BREAKING: Qantas agrees to a TWU Australia proposal to pay $120 million to the 1,800 workers it illegally outsourced in 2020. Long-overdue justice for some of the finest people i've ever met. But Peter Dutton's plan to repeal Same Job, Same Pay puts tens of thousands of working

Qantas to pay $120 million in compensation to over 1800 staff it illegally outsourced in 2020. Michael Kaine said “never again can we see Joyce-style tactics applied to wreck jobs and fight against workers receiving fair compensation”. theaustralian.com.au/business/aviat…


Congrats to TWU Australia for securing $120M compensation from Qantas for 1800 baggage handlers illegally sacked & outsourced, just to cut their pay. A reminder that more of this would happen if Peter Dutton gets his way & scraps Labor’s Same Job Same Pay laws. theguardian.com/australia-news…
