Airline Staff Sign Drug Petition
Qantas management has been handed a petition signed by nearly 9000 employees opposing random drug testing.
An industrial court hearing into a dispute over a Qantas plan to introduce random breath and urine tests was adjourned until September 9 yesterday to allow for further negotiations.
The Australian Industrial Relations Commission hearing followed last week’s decision that Qantas confine any drug and alcohol testing to senior executives and non-union members until the dispute is resolved.
