The deal hasn’t changed. In fact there has been some minor improvements.
Backpay and pay rises for the next 3 years is still going ahead while the board and CEO are taking pay freezes and pay cuts. Tell me another time at Qantas when that’s happened.
There has been discussions on Qrewroom with people in the YES camp asking for a step by step process if the NO vote gets up. The question is constantly ignored by very loud NO voters. There is no plan B. The 350s will be gone. There will be no PIA. There will be no legal action taken by AIPA. I would be embarrassed if AIPA tried legal action in the current world climate. The company would slaughter us in the media. You can guarantee they won’t be offering back pay or pay rises either.
AIPA president has recommend a YES vote.
AIPA Vice President has recommend a YES vote.
AIPA COM hasn’t recommend either a YES or NO vote. They want you to look at the threat of the external entity and vote accordingly.
The AIPA president has confirmed the threat is real, and they can legally do it.
Use your vote wisely, look towards the future, and vote YES!
It’s absolutely despicable how the company has behaved.
To hold a gun to the head of an employee group and say accept this or the job goes to someone else is unconscionable.
Some sort of message/vote today at the SGM would be the very least that could be done.
Forget about inter AIPA politics.
Be united and send a vote of no confidence in the CEO, Chief Pilot et al.
It’s not much but at least it sends a message that workplace bulllying is not acceptable!
