OK so if they terminate the action what's the next move??
Qantas is then running out of options.
How's that? The union can't take industrial action. What option do they need?

You realise that 'terminate the action' effects both sides. The day 'action' is allowed again and any union announces further 'action' , QF can lock you all out again.

It's really not a time for anyone to be 'gloating'. In fact I think it shows that some union members believe it's a 'game' to be 'played'. It's not a game. The dispute which started with unionists take strike action [however you wish to dress it up, that's what it was] is costing countless numbers of businesses money. It's not a game.

This isn't a game. I think that many union members, facing the prospect of not being paid, have realised the stakes. It's just a shame that many thought it a game when it was others [company, shareholders, suppliers etc] were the ones copping the financial penalty.
