澳洲最大航空公司澳洲航空(Qantas Airways)因在新冠疫情期間非法解僱1,800名地勤人員並以外判人員取代,近日遭法院裁定須支付9,000萬澳元(約4.59億港元)罰款。

路透社報道,這筆罰款接近違反澳洲勞工法規定的遭罰最高限額,澳洲聯邦法院法官Michael Lee表示,此舉旨在確保「罰款金額不會被視為經營成本」。

Michael Lee在簡要判決中表示,「我目前的重點是實現真正的威懾,包括對大型上市公司的普遍威懾,防止這些公司因認為違法的收益高於潛在風險,而心存僥倖地違法行事。」

法官亦指,罰款中的5,000萬澳元(約2.5億港元)將支付給運輸工人工會(Transport Workers' Union),該工會代表在疫情期間遭解僱的員工提起訴訟。

九個月前,澳航已與工會就被解僱員工達成1.2億澳元(約6.1億港元)的和解協議,該和解金是為補償遭解僱員工。
