An independent tribunal in Australia has ordered workers to end a strike which led the management of the Qantas airline to ground all its flights. The ruling by a panel of three judges is binding. The Australian Council of Trade Unions said it would work with the airline to ensure Qantas planes were back in the air as soon as possible. Its secretary Jeff Lawrence said the decision meant that further negotiations could be held on the airline's restructuring plan, which involves hundreds of job losses.
澳大利亚一家独立法庭命令工人停止罢工,这次罢工迫使澳洲航空公司全部航班停飞。该法官小组的判决具有约束力,澳大利亚工会理事会称,将协助该公司,确保澳洲航空的飞机尽快恢复航班。部长Jeff Lawrence称,该决定意味着将对航空公司的改组计划进行进一步磋商,其中涉及削减数百个工作岗位。
"It's unfortunate that it's taken the intervention of the federal government to force Qantas to negotiate about those issues around job security and to end the lockout. But that has been necessary and the fact that the federal government has taken their action, I think, has led to this generally positive result."
