Qantas to call up management strike breakers
Qantas says it will use larger aircraft, consolidate services and deploy management staff to act in operational roles to minimise disruptions to passengers from next week’s strike action by the Transport Workers Union.
The TWU has instructed its members to walk off the job on Tuesday for four hours during the morning peak in most airports and the afternoon peak in Canberra and Adelaide as well as placing a ban on higher duties which could impact operations for two days.
“The TWU is intent on causing disruptions to Qantas passengers and we are doing everything we possibly can to reduce the delays and cancellations,” said Qantas Group executive, Olivia Wirth.
Qantas will publish an updated schedule in the coming days and contact passengers affected by the strike to make alternative travel arrangements.
Qantas said is was “very concerned†that three unions were working together to attack Qantas in a coordinated campaign.
“We encourage the TWU to remain at the negotiating table instead of going on strike,†said the airline.
