Wasn’t that a condition of the wages policy?
AusiFB What do you mean ‘condition of the wages policy’?
Below is my understanding of the wages policy. Please correct me if I am wrong in any way.
The ‘wages policy’ is just a policy that the company made. It doesn’t influence Australias economy any more than their policy around who gets to use the Business Lounge or their policy on make-up and flat-soled shoes.
The use of the word policy and the way it has been promulgated is designed to give the impression that it holds some weight. It doesn’t. It is a convenient line to trot out adnauseam….think of it as a form of gaslighting.
It can be changed at any time, in any way, that the executive management sees fit.
If 50% of the pilot workforce were about to walk out the door next month to gain a 30% pay rise, would the ‘wages policy’ be amended? Yip.
