Snake,
In the middle of a 3 year agreement containing a clause stating that rostering practices would remain unchanged UNTIL new ones could be negotiated. In the middle of this 3 year agreement the company moves to change rostering practices unilaterally and remove them from the contract completely and totally in breach of the existing contract. Did you mention the words good faith? I notice you appropriately placed the word agreement inside inverted commas as you are well aware this agreement was imposed with the termination of all A scalers the only alternative. Thus an agreement only reached because the company threatened to use the most extreme form of industrial action. Industrial action, which they are still happy to be using right now!
Exchange of data. Did you not know that this data was first requested a very long time ago? In fact well before there were any threats of LIA. Hence your:
“Exchange of data. Try withdrawing any threat of action and see what happens. Who know's you may find the data you want.
Is quite obviously meaningless rhetoric.
By the way shouldn't you be doing something in the office more usefull than writing prpoganda on this forum?
Just wondering!
