The IR laws in Australia are biased in favour of the employer. HK is even worse. You could say that’s a consequence of how society has chosen to evolve over the last few decades. A No vote or PIA will not change that.
Until you face up to management and say NO, they will treat you with contempt that you deserve for not protecting your conditions of service.
The only real way to do that in today’s labour market is to resign and take your skills elsewhere. A combination of home lifestyle, pay, working culture, seniority based promotion and financial security means virtually no one here will do that. Quite a few VA or CX or equivalent pilots have jumped ship to QF in recent years. How many mainline pilots have done the opposite?
A NO vote now will go a long way to curtailing management threats to your Union in the future and provide some element of management respect.
True. Vote No and the flying is outsourced and management won’t have to ever worry about those pesky LH pilots again.
