From BBC News, it is reported that an Australian independent tribunal in Australia has ordered a permanent end to the industrial dispute that has grounded all Qantas flights.
The tribunal – Fair Work Australia gave the ruling after examining evidence from all sides – unions, airline nad the government
It’s taken the government to get involved – all the way to the top – Prime Minister Julia Gillard – to halt this dispute.
Alan Joyce (Qantas CEO) who ordered the stop in the first place said that operations would only resume if a permanent end had been issued – which is had.
The Melbourne Age has a deeper in-depth review.
Suffice to say, this is not the end of Qantas’s troubles – rather I think a breather before it all goes to heck.. again. One to watch over the coming weeks.
