Qantas: denials followed by job cuts

Jul 17, 2008

Qantas has labelled claims in media reports that it is about to axe 2,000 jobs worldwide as "pure speculation".

Following an internal email issued to Qantas staff this week, reports today suggested that Qantas will slash up to 2,000 jobs next week, or about 5% of its 36,000 strong workforce.
