1,100 Qantas engineers initiate a two-week strike over wage increases and past freeze payments.
Qantas engineers are initiating a two-week strike across Australia, starting in Melbourne, due to stalled wage negotiations. The engineers seek a 5% annual pay increase and a 15% payment for past wage freezes. This industrial action, involving around 1,100 members from three unions, is expected to disrupt flights. Despite reporting a $1.25 billion profit, Qantas anticipates minimal customer impact and urges passengers to monitor flight statuses.
