Ok, a little bit of education for those who blame the big scary "unions".

Unions are NOT FACELESS.

Infact, the face of any UNION is the FACE of EVERY member - the staff.

So to all those liberal party scaremongers - you are not fighting faceless labor party hacks/unions, you are fighting the miserable yet proud, poor yet hopeful, abused yet willing - face of EVERY MEMBER.

These people have a vested interest in the future of the company. The institutional shareholders and the board - have little interest.

UNIONS do not exist without their members. In the same way Qantas does not exist without its staff.

This fight involves many of the QANTAS STAFF, saying enough is enough!

This fight has resulted in the people with everything to gain, gambling on the future of those who have everything to lose.

The government are more worried about their re-election chances than the best interest of the public and Qantas staff. Joyce has both forced the hand of Government, and the hand of his staff - the only positive result will be his demise.

I'm not a qantas worker, but I do have shares.
