You may be right, all operators might not pay all those allowances, but we're talking about the difference between logs and splinters here. If they pay the correct rate and the correct minimums, then that is a damn good start. No excuse for not paying uniforms, phone, etc but they've got the lions share covered.
...Still single You ar right about me being right.
Yes we are Talking about GETTING the AWARD. Not some of the AWARD. Why wouldn't we want the AWARD. Not bits of the AWARD the WHOLE lot.
Have you sighned an agrreement so you dont get the whole award?? Are you Happy not getting the whole AWARD?
A Damn good start is still Not the AWARD. Fight for it. Make the Companies that say they are paying the award pay the whole damn lot.
Not just the things that suit them.
As far as I'm concerned the companies that SAY theu are paying the AWARD but are not paying the lot are just as bad as HA.
Here is the bit out of the AWARD that works against us......
8. ENTERPRISE FLEXIBILITY PROVISIONS
(See ss.113A and 113B of the Act)
Where an employer or pilots wish to pursue an agreement at the enterprise or workplace about how the award should be varied so as to make the enterprise or workplace operate more efficiently according to its particular needs the following process will apply:
8.1 A consultative mechanism and procedures appropriate to the size, structure and needs of the enterprise or workplace will be established.
8.2 For the purpose of the consultative process the pilots may nominate the Federation or another to represent them.
8.3 Where agreement is reached an application will be made to the Commission.
This is the bit that makes the Award less powerful. Only if we are week.
