From the faaa domestic website:
Prior to the commencement of certification proceedings a third party sought to intervene to stop the certification process on behalf of two Qantas Short Haul Flight Attendants. They argued that certification should be delayed to allow arguments to be put on behalf of their clients regarding alleged discriminatory clauses “rostering arrangements” within the proposed agreement.
Not withstanding opposition by the Association and Qantas to the intervention the Commission (AIRC) exercised discretion to allow the intervention and set further dates covering process and hearing. What is particularly disappointing about the delay in certification is the arguments mounted relate to pre-existing clauses and other avenues were available to these individuals.
Bye-Bye seniority system
