I think the point was how do you draft a non-compete that is enforceable if the person is already working for Qantas?
Presumably then there is case law to support this? How is a contract not enforceable?
When negotiations are entered into for contractual bargaining purposes, does QF IR require the appointed representatives sign a non-disclose (commonly referred to as a confidentiality arrangement)?
If so, it would appear, axiomatically, that the company take a wholly different view to 'office holders' of an association, performing their duties as union representatives,
irrespective of presumably still working for Qantas. It would be of material interest to understand just how AIPA claims exclusion to what would otherwise seem obvious: The two entities are not the same and Qantas see the issue differently to the union.
Surely there must then be information gleaned from executives and other office holders during the performance of their 'union duties' that would, if disclosed to say something like Qantas IR, be damaging to the pilot body interests?
The case of the former union president 'Stream Lead' being a case, but clearly from the posts, not an isolated one.
