Qantas workers who have been stood down during the COVID-19 pandemic are taking their fight for sick leave to the nation’s highest court.

A Federal Court appeals bench rejected their claim in November, saying that because the employees were not working there was nothing to take leave from. Qantas won an earlier Federal Court case in May.
