Qantas has been ordered to pay $170,000 in compensation to three workers who were illegally sacked during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justice Lee ordered that the three workers would be awarded compensation of $30,000, $40,000 and $100,000 respectively for "non-economic loss". TWU assistant secretary Nick McIntosh said "this is finally the day for justice for 1,700 workers who did nothing wrong and were illegally sacked"."It is a victory for every working person in this country and is also a message to corporate Australia — a message that says 'if you treat workers this way, if you think you can get away with the biggest illegal sacking of workers in Australian history, then guess what? Think again.
