Now, if Patty speaks the truth, it could be that simple. But I doubt Patty speaks for the majority of ground staff. That would be like saying “all pilots earn $400K! Surely we can outsource pilots for half that!”
The fact that Tino/Alan actually did threaten something similar to their pilots just 8 months ago hasn’t escaped me, but I digress.
Given that you wouldn’t be likely to be able to shave $40K off an average cleaner’s wage and expect them to re-apply to the contracting mob, there must be some fat in there somewhere that we’re missing.
The only clue I’ve found so far was actually in clear sight in the press release: it “includes management roles”.
Ahh.
I doubt that many of them earn over 40k a year,if u took 40k off them they may end up with $100 a week if they were lucky.
1 of them told me they were basically no worse off on jobkeeper,the work they do is not appreciated.
