Alan Joyce has been skewered for his “brutal corporate dictatorship” during a Senate inquiry into the government’s controversial Qatar decision, as calls for the Qantas board to resign mount.
Michael Kaine, the Transport Workers Union’s National Secretary, laid into the beleaguered former Qantas boss while giving evidence to the inquiry’s public hearing in Brisbane on Tuesday.
The powerful union boss then rattled off a list of grievances he had with Mr Joyce’s actions, starting with the infamous 2011 industrial dispute where the then-CEO “grounded the company in 2011 to inflict the damage that he needed to show the Fair Work Commission”. He said the “rap sheet” of Qantas’ behaviour fit that of a “rapacious corporation” rather than that of a national carrier.
This includes having a workers’ representative on the board of Qantas, which the TWU believes should be spilled to make way for “renewal”.
