TWU sues Qantas in Australia's Federal Court for allegedly illegally outsourcing 1,700 ground staff roles during the pandemic.

The Transport Workers Union (TWU) is suing Qantas in Australia's Federal Court over claims the airline illegally outsourced 1,700 ground staff roles during the pandemic, potentially the largest case of illegal sackings in corporate history. Qantas lost its appeal in the High Court in September for contravening the Fair Work Act. The TWU seeks substantial compensation for the sacked workers, with potential multimillion-dollar penalties for Qantas if found guilty.
