A Qantas employee widely recognised for helping other airline staff over many years has been threatened with expulsion from the Transport Workers Union for criticising the financial management of its leadership.
George Oie, a winner of multiple “delegate of the year” awards, has been summoned by the TWU’s NSW branch boss, Richard Olsen, to explain “disparaging comments” he made to The Australian.
Mr Olsen has told Mr Oie in writing that he wants him to appear before the TWU’s administrative committee to say how the union should deal with his alleged conduct and future membership status.
