Well really the risk should be very low shouldn’t it! They know there is very limited options available to AIPA right now. They Cannot direct any industrial action as it would be unlawful. That leaves going to FWA, if they are so confident of their actions then they would have nothing to fear. So it actually has nothing to do with AIPA calling a meeting to discuss and inform their members of the situation.
But clearly you are spruiking the company line whatever your motive.
