well..............
First of all, Stop refering to the ALAEA as a union. It is NOT. Its an association.
The majority of QF employees would not work in an iron lung. The amount of so called work you do for the exorbanent amount of money you earn is absoluletly outrageous.
One hour for smoko, Long down times between aircraft arrivals, going home early on night shift, etc etc.
If I was paying the bills you would all recieve a 20% pay cut instead of whinging about a 3% pay rise.
Think about how much you earn and how much work you actually do. On the other side of the fence you would have to work alot harder for the same money. If you still feel the need to whinge about how badly you are treated then i suggest you pull your head out of the sand and think how lucky you really are.
On a lighter side, I have heard of SDT and SIT refered to as Hollywood because of all the actors. Sounds to me more like a circus because of all the clowns.
