Qantas dispute - “blacklist” probe


The federal Workplace Ombudsman has initiated an immediate investigation into aspects of the Qantas engineers’ dispute.

Ombudsman Nicholas Wilson said today his inquiry had been prompted by allegations in today’s media that a blacklist of strike-breakers was being circulated within the airline industry as a means of intimidating non-union members.

The investigation will seek to determine if freedom of association provisions of the Workplace Relations Act have been breached.

“This is a serious matter, and if proven to be true, could result in prosecution of the guilty party,” Mr Wilson said.

The Workplace Ombudsman has been monitoring the Qantas industrial dispute and negotiating processes to ensure all parties comply with the Act.

Remember, this is a two-way street: if anybody has any proof of an 'intimidation' or 'get-even' list from management, pass it on to the WO and the Assoc. Two can play at this game!
