| Update Unions are gearing up for a fight against Qantas, following the airline's announcement it plans to cut up to 1000 jobs and launch a premium airline based in Asia and a new budget airline in Japan.
"This announcement flies in the face of all that makes Qantas great, that is its staff," Australian Services Union (ASU) Assistant National Secretary Linda White said.

The ASU - the largest union operating at Qantas - believes a "significant number" of its members will be affected, including those who work in "safety-sensitive areas" of the airline's operation. The union also covers airport check-in workers and freight workers.
