After weeks of negotiation, Qantas told engineers yesterday that the same deal they already rejected is “back on the table”, demanding the unions endorse it. Fail to accept, and they’ll take away their workforce’s backpay. This is a disgraceful attempt to strongarm the very people who kept Qantas planes flying safely through a pandemic, endured pay freezes, and sacrificed decent wages for over a decade. And while this sort of corporate bullying is cheered by the Liberals & Nationals, we will always stand behind working Australians. No more delays, it's time for fair pay.
