Qantas Workers may oppose outsourcing plans

Qantas is contemplating outsourcing while at the same time it's maintenance workers are deciding to go on strike to pursuade the management to relook at the outsourcing issue. If this action occurs, it will be a major setback for Qantas as it could leave some of it's aircraft out of action leading to inconveniences for it's passengers. ABC Online reports:

Earlier this month, Qantas made a commitment to keep its heavy maintenance work in Australia, by closing its repair base in Sydney and shifting the jobs to its base in Avalon near Melbourne.
