AIPA legal has always been very good. This sort of thing would be referred to a senior industrial barrister.
QF/JQ May not go after individual pilots who joined AFAP after the ballot. But they sure as **** would look into the AFAP Exec and JQ faction for organising and coercion.
Div 3/4 P340 onwards of the Act (page414). P176 might be worth a look too.
I can’t imagine the intent of the Act is to facilitate employees Monty Pythonesque rushing from one union to another, after a PIA ballot. If there was any doubt, perhaps Q would consider running an action anyway. Make things very real for the AFAP leadership, probably stand them down or lock em’ out because of the stress.
guessing Keith’s email came from JQ. See how they have made a distinction between being a “member of AFAP” and “bargaining representative”. There might be a reason for that.
Yep, what is the objective?? Apart from running it at Xmas?
