Qantas claims unions involved in a pay dispute are behind death threats sent to executives | The Australian

Another one, almost media watch worthy.

Qantas claims unions involved in a pay dispute are behind death threats sent to executives

Although Mr Joyce, who has received one of the threatening letters, does not believe union officials are responsible, he says the tone of negotiations needs to be "more conciliatory and less aggressive".
"I absolutely believe that they are calling on their members ... and anybody out there that this is the wrong behaviour and cannot be tolerated," Mr Joyce told Fairfax Radio in Melbourne.
He said both sides of the dispute needed to be more sensible.
"We've asked the union leaders, we've asked all of our people to make sure that the tone is a lot more sensible than it has been," he said.
1) So the headline is a complete lie, does not represent the actual article.
2) Alan Joyce admits his team's tone has not sensible and needs to be more sensible.

It's a given that industrial thugs like the AIPA and the ALAEA are totally insensible, all they do is fly aircraft full of people and maintain aircraft full of people. But to admit the Qantas side full of poorly remunerated corporate battlers hasn't been sensible. I'm at a total loss for words.
