No flight pain but Qantas engineers warn strikes will continue

Published 30 September 2024, 10:19 am
There were warnings of peak hour chaos at major Australian airports today as more than 1,000 Qantas engineers walked off the job. Thankfully that didn't transpire, but the engineers' union is warning strikes will continue if the airline doesn't increase its pay offer. They're calling for a 15% pay rise among other demands - angered that the airline's executives received millions in bonuses, while their wage growth remains capped at 3%.
