NSW: TWU congratulates Qantas on posting profit
The Transport Workers Union has congratulated Qantas on posting a 117 million dollar
profit .. after agreeing to mediation with the airline on legal action over a snap strike
in March.
The union praised the Qantas hierarchy and workers for turning a profit in a difficult
year .. but wants the company to talk to workers about its proposed cuts of 1.5 billion
dollars.
TWU national secretary TONY SHELDON says while they take some comfort from Qantas saying
it won't make more job cuts across the airline .. they're still concerned over the way
the company could be looking to save money.
Mr SHELDON says lower costs will put more pressure on safety and security.
