  • 140314 TWU Submission to Senate on QF Final
    Submission by the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia to the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee Inquiry: Qantas’ Future as a Strong National Carrier Supporting Jobs in Australia March 2014 Submission by the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia 1 Introduction 1. The Transport Workers Union of Australia (TWU) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee regarding initiatives that can be taken by Government to ensure Qantas remains a strong national carrier supporting jobs in Australia. 2. The TWU proudly represents tens of thousands of men and women working across Australia’s aviation industry and its associated supply chains, including several thousand working directly for Qantas Airways Limited or wholly owned Qantas subsidiary companies within the Qantas Group. 3. The Australian aviation industry employs hundreds of thousands of Australians and the Australian domestic aviation market is effectively a duopoly with two major airline groups – Qantas Group and Virgin Group. 4. The Qantas Group alone accounts for approximately 63% of the market, and with that share, significant market power throughout the aviation supply chain. As such, what happens to Qantas has a significant impact on the rest of the market. 5. For many years the TWU has been vocal with regards to the future of Qantas, the airline’s commercial decisions, its conduct towards its workers and the impact those decisions have on the flying public, the national interest, and aviation workers and their families. 6. TWU members are committed to ensuring the Australian aviation industry is sustainable and with it decent, secure aviation jobs.
