This just in:

Just watched it on Ch7 news that Qantas is suing Transport Workers Union for the last baggage handlers work stoppages, something like 45 million dollars lost during that stoppage (not sure) Q says its reputation suffered after that baggage handler's work stoppage which caused a whole airport of baggage pile up etc etc as if they were always on time to begin with.

I really thought the team managers could have pitched in to help in that situation seeing 500 managers made no contribution at all and is shown the door.

The news report says this is unprecedented as Qantas had never ever sued a Union before.

Not sure when this will appear in web sites as news.

Let this be a subtle warning from the company that it will not tolerate any industrial action, they will take legal action. Whether you like the outcome of the job slashing or not, it will proceed, and if you take any industrial action, it will retaliate.

I think we are beginning to see AJ's true colors coming out now.
