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.
