Some pipe-dream thoughts:

When the announcement of the massively reduced flying for Qantas International,redundancies,off-shoring etc happens on Aug 24th.
Make some noise:
Turn up at the AGM with banners ready for after the announcement,most QF employees are shareholders and therefore entitled to have their opinion heard. Get any friends/rellies who are also shareholders to go. Crowds are easily swayed,make some noise about executive pay (as i spose there wont be any executive pay cuts to go along with the cuts in services/staff), Spirit of Australia lost, poor management decisions etc
Lobby every MP you can find that our Flag Carrier,an essential service to the Australian public is being castrated. Stand outside their offices with 'Save Qantas' banners. Nick X would be a great place to start.
Put pressure on the goverment,email,email,email everyone from Julia down.
Ring [sigh] Today Tonight/ACA with a group of people staring down the barrel of redundancy,the Spirit of Australia is lost etc due to corporate greed (be sure to point out the huge profit QF is still making).

Sometimes as employyes we can't. but as a goup of 'concerned shareholders' we are allowed to make noise.

We have to.
