Qantas has issued its first-ever apology to workers after the High Court found the carrier acted illegally when it sacked 1,700 ground crew staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic. The win is being described as a "David versus Goliath" outcome and will result in a major compensation payout to affected workers. The decision comes after the premature exit of CEO Alan Joyce, who is facing fresh calls to hand back his bonuses. Pressure is also mounting for the Qantas board to follow him out the door. The ACCC is taking legal action against the airline over allegations its sold tickets to cancelled flights. The Australian Council for Superannuation Investors is calling for a swift and decisive turnaround from new boss Vanessa Hudson.
