Qantas Engineers Strike Across Major Australian Airports Over Pay Dispute

Despite the strike, Qantas assures no customer impact as unions demand significant pay increases.

Hundreds of Qantas engineers are conducting two four-hour strikes at key airports, escalating ongoing industrial action.
The strikes are part of a broader campaign by the Qantas Engineers' Alliance, which has been in negotiations since late September.
Unions are demanding a 5% annual pay rise, with a 15% increase in the first year to offset wage freezes.
Qantas maintains that flight operations will remain unaffected, citing contingency plans to manage the reduced workforce.
The industrial action coincides with Qantas' annual general meeting, where union representatives are expected to rally.
