That's EXACTLY right! So the market conditions improve once the MOU expires and we get shafted with a **** pay and conditions in the EA? They're desperate and are using fear mongering (and spreading misinformation) to brainwash us into thinking we will end up on the award. It's all hogwash and the masses are buying into it, when it's clear they will NEVER succeed trying to terminate the EA. Given we will now be stood down, I say we continue negotiations. Every time we come to negotiate an EA, they take years (to avoid any opportunity of a pay increase) and now they want to negotiate this EA at the speed of light? Come on.
