New Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson has been ordered to personally attend a mediation with the Transport Workers Union (TWU) to discuss compensation for 1,700 workers illegally dismissed during the pandemic.
A week after a unanimous High Court decision (ruling 7—0 in favour of the TWU) found the national carrier acted illegally in outsourcing the jobs, Federal Court Justice Michael Lee on Sept. 20 ordered Ms. Hudson to meet with TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine.
