"We are seeking termination because we can’t effectively run our business without the rostering changes we desperately need to properly restart our international network in a post-COVID world," Qantas International CEO, Andrew David, said. Long-haul cabin crew recently voted overwhelmingly to reject the new work contract, with 97% of the union membership voting down the proposed agreement. "This is a very disappointing decision and one of which the management should be ashamed," FAAA federal secretary, Teri O'Toole, said.
