Not saying I agree with it, but it will require the union taking the matter to FWA. You would assume Qantas has already done the homework on this.
It’s not based on whether you agree, or whether they intend to keep the fleet. The EBA is quite clear on when stand down can occur. FWA are pretty clear that in the case of an EBA covering a situation, they won’t interfere with it.
Union won’t need to do much, if anything. The EBA that was recently voted upon during this pandemic, stands.
Normanton, what QF would like to do, and what they can do, are very different things.
Won’t stop them trying to cut a deal to pull the wool over your eyes where they can though!
LH and SH EBAs are pretty tight - and not in QFs favour. Can’t speak for the other EBAs in the group.
