It has been appropriate use of an employers very limited rights under the Fair Work Laws.
It is not appropriate for Qantas to be negotiating an EBA with a gun to its head in the form of threatened and/or rolling industrial action ... that would be more akin to Bully Work Laws.
The next 21 days will be make or break to see whether the word "fair" in "fair work practices", "Fair Work Laws" and "Fair Work Australia" actually means "fair" or something else like perhaps "labor".
"Fair" implies some kind of balance and reason.
Significant pay rises with no productivity offsets is not balance and reason imo.
