Not long ago you posted that the actions of Steve Purvinas & the ALAEA had cost the jobs of 5000 engineering staff during the dispute when the $24m man shut down the airline.
I am still waiting for you to tell me where these 5000 came from.
So,where did they come from????
Can you show me where I said 5000? Happy to be corrected.
Lots of engineering jobs went. Avalon. Tullamarine, Sydney.....around 1200 in the first 12 months.
Ask Steve himself, he should know how many jobs have been lost.
What do you think happened around the Qantas board room table after the dispute? Do you think they just ignored the dispute? No chance. Any half decent board member in any half decent company would be asking what the company can do to ensure it can never again be held to industrial ransom by a disruptive employee group. The solution - more outsourcing to multiple suppliers. It was an obvious outcome and that is exactly what has happened.
