About 2, Qantas and Jetstar employees will be stood down for two months because of domestic coronavirus border closures, in a move unions have criticised for being taken one day after the announcement of a government wage support package. Employees being stood down will be given two weeks notice and be paid until mid-August. Joyce said the different schemes meant that the stood down Qantas workers, which include 2, in domestic operations and 6, in international operations, will be receiving different levels of support from either Covid disaster payments or the new scheme.
He said engineers would not be stood down as they are needed for plane maintenance, but acknowledged that outsourced ground workers would not be eligible for the payments — days after the federal court found against the legality of Qantas outsourcing.
Qantas is temporarily standing down 2, workers as Australian border closures see flights dwindle. In a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning, Qantas said the affected domestic pilots, cabin crew, and airport workers, mostly based in New South Wales, will be out of work for two months.
Sydney is the center of that outbreak. A six-week-long lockdown there is expected to last another two months. Lockdowns are also currently occurring elsewhere in Australia, notably in southeast Queensland. On Tuesday, he acted. With Qantas and Jetstar canceled some 5, domestic flights in June, Qantas stresses these are not permanent job losses. At this stage, they are two-month stand-downs. Qantas can claim that support for half their stood-down flight crews in a deal reached with the airline industry.
The TWU says the deal only applies to half the impacted cabin crew and pilots.
