WHY....
I dont know about you, but if 'your' union was about to expose you to possible financial ruin, would you want to have a say in the matter?
You are blatantly NOT a QF LAME. If you actually listened to the guys on the floor you'd know exactly what the sentiment is.
O/T bans have been in place for approximately 3 months now. Aircraft are being grounded and delayed, hurting QF reliability and customers....and there's not a thing QF can do about it.
You make it official, and if one person refuses to do O/T, ANYBODY can be stood down without pay indefinately.
'Whats the next step then' I hear you say. Scale up the unofficail bans. Its not hard to coordinate, and its not hard for union officals to distance themselves from.
