Not everyone shares Rafed De’s BLF-style militant union views on who should be able to take on new roles.
Nobody has suggested that a BLF or even a militant solution be adopted.
Candidly if the individual concerned had proceeded to do to the BLF what has transpired here, then the 'solution' might be a little more akin to what you are alleging. Be careful Justin.
This kind of thing happens all the time in life.
This thing has not happened before. A well worn goat path from union representative to training or other management is a frequent outcome,
but a lead IR negotiator is new ground. Piggy Howe's didn't do it, despite Olivia opening a few doors at KPMG,
other than connections and inside knowledge what would he offer a top 4 four accounting firm? He didn't complete high school, but clearly KPMG wanted to lever something.....
As Capt Colonial eloquently posited:
Justin Beaver. NS may well be out of AIPA, however many of us ask, was NS also out of AIPA and/or acting in a more alleged self-interest manner when he pushed the deal for Pilots to lose Night Credits, Bidding Rights and Overtime on the B-787? The industrial lines become very blurred with such events! Simply stated, if one desires to run for AIPA Office, one should also be willing to sign a Disclosure Agreement (DA) that one will not accept any office in Qantas Flight Management or an opposing Industrial Position or Employment for a specified time limit (7 years). There can be No Argument otherwise! Standard business practice nowadays!
'Contra bonos mores' is the societal norm, where anything goes, self interest rules. When this individual abandoned the pilots he claimed to represent and sought allowed ego and self satisfaction to drive his decision, recommendations and use of privileged information cannot be ascertained, however nor can it be ruled out that he did not act in his own interest whilst pretending to do other.
Will the incumbent President be so inclined to show leadership and ethics and require a statement of good faith. starting with his own?
Morals and ethics matter. The representative body could easily simply decline to discuss any pertinent matters with that individual.
Perhaps the absence of leadership from a representative body is recognition that the good faith to act in member's interests, is just on paper..
