ALEA Engineers ,eviserated.
TWU , as good as excised .
Both Unions featuring prominently, slow baking Qantas during the EA negotiation period .
Who’s next ?
Pilots and AIPA , to a lesser extent AFAP , particularly JetStar and subsidiary constituents?
ASU and office staff ?
Who will remain ?
How much of Qantas can you subcontract out before it’s no longer culturally Qantas ?
Does the Qantas Sale Act play any part here ?
When is restructuring just an excuse to circumvent transmission of business ?
Correct.
This goes way back to the shutdown in 2011.
Forward bookings over Christmas that year crashed when the ALEA and TWU threatened to slow-bake the airline.
Hence the shutdown.
AJ has a long memory and has been nursing his wrath to keep it warm ever since.
Now is the perfect opportunity.
AIPA might be safe but thats about it.
Surprised it took him so long really.
