Qantas and unions continue to trade blows

As Qantas gets ready to appear before an emergency Fair Work Australia (FWA) hearing, the airline and the unions continue to trade verbal blows.
An urgent FWA session, convened at the request of the federal government, is resuming in Melbourne at 2pm (AEDT), after late night talks on Saturday following Qantas's shock decision earlier in the day to immediately ground its domestic and international flights.
It also plans to lock out engineers, pilots and other employees, from Monday night.

Mr Joyce says he is hoping the Fair Work panel will order a termination to all industrial action, saying a suspension order might not be enough to get the fleet back in the air.
"A termination stops the lockout," Mr Joyce told Sky News on Sunday.
"A termination gives us certainty, a suspension, depending on what the suspension looks like, does not necessarily give us certainty."
The decision to ground the iconic carrier saw 108 aircraft brought out of the air in 22 airports around the world, and left terminals across Australia eerily quiet.
Passengers arriving in Sydney airport were greeted with the message, "We're very sorry Qantas is not flying due to industrial action".
Speaking outside the Qantas domestic terminal at Sydney airport on Sunday, Transport Workers Union (TWU) national secretary Tony Sheldon attacked the airline for escalating industrial action.
"Qantas has made a decision to ground its airline, affecting 80,000 passengers, when its workforce has no industrial action planned across the country," he said.
Mr Sheldon said the TWU - which represents baggage handlers, ground staff and catering workers - had launched less than eight hours of industrial action over the past seven months.
"It's not the appropriate time for termination to be called because there is no industrial action presently being taken," he said.
The Australian International Pilots Association (AIPA) also stepped up its attack, saying it was looking into its legal options.
"We think that Alan (Joyce) may have been in breach of the Fair Work Act by his actions," AIPA vice-president Captain Richard Woodward said.
"He has locked out the short-haul pilots, they are not in this dispute - their award is not up for negotiation until next year."
He said the only industrial action taken by Qantas pilots was inflight announcements about the dispute as well as the donning of red ties that carried the message "Qantas flight, Qantas pilots".
As the unions and Qantas fought it out in rolling press conferences, federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott placed the blame squarely with the federal government.
Mr Abbott called for Prime Minister Julia Gillard to use powers under Section 431 of the Fair Work Act to put forward "its own motion" and terminate an industrial dispute. "Every hour that this dispute goes on is an hour that's wasted from people's lives because the prime minister is refusing to take the steps that she can take," Mr Abbott told reporters in Melbourne. "I think in the end the problem is with the government, the government has everything it needs in its existing workplace relations toolkit."
But Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten said the actions by Qantas was not how business was done in Australia.
"You don't lock out your passengers to square off with your employees," Mr Shorten said.
"If the unions had locked out the passengers, I would have been equally outraged."
On Sunday afternoon the Queensland Government joined the Commonwealth, the NSW and Victorian government's application to Fair Work Australia to terminate all industrial action by Qantas and its employees.
