I just have to challenge the assumption behind this thread....
Howards reforms will reduce wages and conditions.
Exactly how?
Wages and conditions are a function of supply and demand.
If there are very few available people then employers have to pay more to attract them and vice versa.
So what if there is NOT a never ending stream of LAME's, Pilots, FA's etc.?
Sunfish tore up some carpet a few years ago and saw some 1960's employment pages. Factories and businesses screaming for employees - offering them everything and anything to come and work for them.
Given Sunfish's first law ; "Governments achieve the exact reverse of their stated intentions" I suspect you are going to be much better off than you think.
Aren't all you LAMEs and flight crew complaining of the overtime you are being asked to work? That should give you a clue.
