澳大利亚最大的航空公司昆塔斯 (Qantas) 面临着高达1.21亿美元的潜在罚款,因为在2020年在疫情期间非法解雇了1800多名工人. Qantas, Australia's largest airline, faces a potential fine of up to $121 million for illegally dismissing over 1,800 workers in 2020 during the pandemic. 联邦法院认定,Qantas外包的行李搬运工、清洁工和地面工作人员降低了工会讨价还价的能力,这一举动已经使航空公司损失1.2亿美元的赔偿费用。 The Federal Court found that Qantas outsourced baggage handlers, cleaners, and ground staff to reduce union bargaining power, a move already costing the airline $120 million in compensation. Qantas要求“中程”罚款4000万至8000万美元, Qantas requests a "mid-range" penalty of $40 million to $80 million, arguing the actions were a mistake.
