Nope. That’s not how it works. Qantas Pilots made redundant are re-employed on the same terms and conditions as they left. It would take a very significant challenge in court for Qantas to have the agreement cancelled for them to try that on. I’m not sure anyone has ever had success making their workforce redundant, apply to cancel the award that covers those employees redundancy and re-employment, and then re-hiring those same employees on lower terms and conditions.
