"QANTAS has grounded its entire domestic and international fleet of aircraft and will lock out all staff involved in its industrial dispute from Monday night.

"This is an unprecedented move. It comes in the middle of a bitter dispute with staff and will strand thousands of passengers in Australia and around the world."

Not gone well :*O

ceo says cant give unions 15% payrise over 3 years too expensive, board votes in favour of giving the ceo a 71% payrise so he ends up making 5 mil a year, ceo grounds all planes to try and make the unions look bad i guess? ends up making self look like an ass

I...see... :|

They're willing to lose "20 million a day" over this AND give the CEO a 71% payrise, but they won't give the people who keep the company alive 15% more over 3 years.

I could be very wrong but I heard that there hasn't been a pay rise (that base or standard) for 10 years.

Anyone else heard that?

Just insinuating Communism makes any of your opinions void.

it seems to me that both sides are in the wrong, its called a compromise and it needs to happen, neither gets exactly what they want but both agree to something at least, this has gone beyond a joke. shareholders had a chance to stop the ceo's pay increase but instead they give him a raise. This is the end of australian owned airlines. I have an upcoming Jetstar flight at the end of the year and if this faq's it up Im going to be peeved.

Exactly, Negotiation is give and take, it doesn't go all one way.

since always.

I'm no expert but even so I'm pretty sure this is just wrong. If this is commonplace why would my friend who works for Qantas post this on facebook?

"Holy shit! Qantas just grounded all flights"
