Qantas, pilots to resume pay talks | News | Business Spectator
Unions will meet with Qantas management again this week to try to thrash out a deal over pay and conditions for international pilots,
The pilots want a 2.5 per cent annual pay rise and are demanding job security under a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA).
Qantas has previously said the wage push, along with claims for staff travel, would cost about eight per cent year on year, although the union disputed this.
"We believe there's errors in the way they have calculated it," Mr Jackson told reporters outside the Melbourne meeting.
A Qantas spokesman said the calculations were reached by taking into account the cost to the company of the wage claim, requests for improved travel benefits and reclassification of wages.
Good to see the door is suddenly open again.... trust things will be more civil this time,
reclassification of wages.
What is all that about? The spin from QF is annoying!
