Qantas Airways and the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) have reached an agreement on compensation for former employees affected by outsourcing of work.
In 2020, Qantas Airways had outsourced its ground services. Following a Federal Court decision in October concerning compensation for three of the employees, both parties agreed to establish a compensation fund in early 2025 for the affected former 1,820 employees.
The payment is expected to total AUD 120 million, covering economic and non-economic losses, compensation to the TWU, and costs associated with the management and distribution to individuals.
