What a great day it is today. The court has found that Qantas illegally sacked TWU workplace hero Theo Seremetidis. He was found to have been unlawfully dismissed. Now is the time, more than ever, to send a message to Richard Goyder, the chairman of Qantas, who had his filthy hands all over this, as well as illegally sacking 1,700 workers. He needs to follow them out the door. The sooner Goyder goes, the better for Australia, the better for our travelling public, the better for our airline industry. He must go!
