Qantas has already said that IF it loses its appeal and IF those workers get their jobs back, they will of course have to pay back their redundancy payouts. Very clever for QF to put this on the table because I reckon every former baggage handler and rampie has spent their redundancy payout on something like giving the money to the kids to help them with housing, paying off the remains of their own mortgage, maybe buying a holiday home or something else. None of them will be in a position to pay back their redundancy or even be willing to pay it back if they can somehow land their hands on the capital. Qantas will win this one way or another.
