If at the first opportunity the employer unilaterally pulls out and imposes a far less valuable policy document instead, trust is irreparably broken.
Don’t try to frame this as some Spitfire-owning primadonna hissy-fit, we are hard-working professionals who agreed to uproot their families and come make their lives in HK, with the contractual certainty of their spouses and children being taken care of with decent medical insurance, housing assistance and schooling (like most expats in HK).
No Bentleys to be seen here.
Seriously?
You signed a contract with a company that..
Used sign or be fired against the A scalers in 1999.
Illegally sacked 49 of your colleagues in 2001.
Ripped up a rostering agreement in 2015.
Refused to comply with the contractual agreement of the Adelaide instructors.
Has a 30 year history of unilaterally altering the terms of engineering, cabin crew and ground crew.
But trust wasn’t irreparably broken until they eventually came for you in 2020?
All you want is what you signed up for? Then why did you enter industrial action and then twice vote down improvements on what you signed up for saying the improvements were grossly inadequate? In 2018 it was an 80% NO vote. That’s a rather clear message about what you think is a suitable package to live in HK.
Have management held your head so far under water that you’d now vote YES if TA18 was back on the table? Or even less, COS08 with no improvements?
Or as you like to say, what you signed up for.
