Qantas shares surge as it forecasts stronger-than-expected first-half profit
The strong rebound in travel, combined with rising inflation, has led to threats of industrial action by some unionised staff because the airline was offering a two-year wage freeze followed by two years of 2% pay rises in its latest round of agreements.
Qantas said on Thursday it would increase the offer to a 3% increase after the wage freeze, at a cost of A$40 million a year. It is also offering bonuses worth around A$10,000 per employee - Reuters (13 October 2022)
