An agreement may sort out your hip pocket blues - but the nasty taste will remain until the Qantas management make genuine amends. The memories of Joyce's ultra destructive tactics will live for a long time.
Once again, in the same manner as under Dixon's reign, Qantas threw away more money - tons more money, in fighting its workers than it would have cost it to negotiate an agreement that would have satisfied its workers.
They burnt $250M in 2008 fighting a $5M claim.
A happy worker is a productive worker. Good thing for Joyce he isn't penalised for introducing inefficiencies into the workplace!
So right.
We will be back in the courts with these a##h#les before the ink has dried.
Qantas style of management -fight your workers, fight them to the death, they will pay, they will know who the master is and no expense will be spared. Hey, may even send the ALAEA broke.
We will have had our little win, though.
