OCCUPY QANTAS
The Qantas board will probably be wondering tomorrow morning why they ever agreed to hold their annual shareholder meeting at a university campus.
With the Australian Shareholders' Association raring to grill chairman
Leigh Clifford on remuneration and several unions keen to spill the board, the Occupy Sydney band of protesters now plan to make an appearance at the University of NSW's Sir John Clancy Auditorium for the meeting.
Peter Somerville of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association helped rally support last week at the Occupy Sydney protest in Martin Place, which had a large contingent of students.
Somerville received his best reaction from the crowd when he mentioned the 71 per cent pay rise awarded to Qantas's chief executive,
Alan Joyce, last financial year.
Friday is shaping up to be very interesting indeed.
