The board has the full support from the minister, he knows the retention numbers and I can guarantee you that he will be in no rush to support the union.
The same voices who complain and post about everything over and over again should just go. But they won't, they will just keep enjoying their massive paycheck, unlimited sick leave and 6 weeks of leave every year.
You have a post history of 5 (including the one above).

Former staff who left can stay overseas. They didn't show any loyalty to the company so I don't see why ASA should offer them any thing more than what the trainees from the college get. Overseas providers are no where near as good as what is in Australia and those staff have probably de-skilled, making them no more valuable than what comes from the college.
Everyone already knows they are gaming the system.

ATC contributed to 15% of flight delays in December thread.
The obvious solution is to roster the overtime the same way as other shifts. The EBA stipulates that reasonable overtime should be completed, I don't see why controllers should not do 1-2 additional shifts every 2-3 weeks. This is normal in other companies and it only seems to be the controllers that have a problem with it. ASA has a robust fatigue management system and therefor the constant complaining about fatigue is absolute rubbish.
The airlines and customers should not have to face delays just because the controllers don't want to play their part in the system. We need a clean out and those who don't want to support the company should just go.
It is obvious to everyone that this is organized. Sydney had only 2 shifts to cover and no one would agree to reasonable overtime as required in the EBA.
Air Services needs to start motivating those who do not enough over time by rejecting pay scale increases and leave requests.
RV, it would be an alternative universe if we all agreed with one another. 50 or even 100 shades of vanilla. In 40 years as an ATC there were some very robust debates, but at the end of the day there is a job to be done, people will make their own decisions. But I make one point, ATCs aren't like HR specialists, or accountants, or teachers. There is a single employer of civil ATCs in Australia, and so those who like the job tend to stay, despite their misgivings, dispute a toxic culture. I guess they tune out to a degree and probably don't spend much time on pprune.
I do ponder your motivations, I guess many ponder mine.
