ACTU secretary Dave Oliver will lead a union delegation to Canberra tomorrow to step up political lobbying over the Abbott government's legislation to change the Qantas Sale Act.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce says the airline management will push ahead with cutting 5,000 jobs even if the Federal Parliament supports legislation to lift foreign ownership restrictions on the national carrier.
The ACTU and aviation unions have sought details on the 5000 jobs Qantas is planning to cut, its outsourcing plans, and its proposed wage freeze ahead of a meeting with management in Sydney today.
