The Transport Workers' Union (TWU) has taken legal action against Qantas today over plans to outsource 2,500 ground handling jobs, as the airline's workers gather in Canberra to demand action from the federal government.
In a press conference on the front lawn of Parliament House that heard from Qantas workers, ALP MPs Tanya Plibersek, Matt Thistlethwaite, and Senator Tony Sheldon, the TWU said the first tranche of legal action against Qantas was filed in the Fair Work Commission this morning.
