Former Qantas workers are claiming victory over its $90 million fine for illegally sacking more than 1800 workers.
The court's found outsourcing baggage handlers, cleaners, and ground staff in 2020 was done to curb union bargaining powers.
Qantas says this judgment holds them accountable.
Australian Correspondent Lesley Yeomans told Ryan Bridge $50 million of the fine will be going to the Transport Workers Union, and what happens with the other $40 million will be decided at a later date.
