Whats the next move with the Industrial action (Officially!)?
Word out of BNE International is that the executive have approved bans on higher duties, but they are unsure as to when this will start.
Unofficially, some people are beginning to refuse to process warranty jobs. The attitude has been if QF management are going to stall negotiations because BD cant put up with a little stress in his life, and thus cost us money, we'll just have to cost THEM money by refusing to fill out warranty claims.
Also heard rumours of people finding second jobs too. The examples I was given were all cash in hand, no tax, no super surcharge and definately no problems. Apparently there is a shortage of tradesman in Australia at the moment so the work is quite easy to find! Helps out those who are stratched, and gives them options for when their time comes to throw off the shackles of QF.
If nothing else comes out of the Industrial action, we've learnt how to make as much overtime for ourselves as we want. All those little insignificant defects we always used to 'ignore' are now being logged. And when all this is over, they spell only one thing....$$$$!
QF management will pay in the long run. How they do it, is up to them.
