The ALAEA have notified the IRC today that they are escalating industrial action. The timing to be around Thursday next week if the Company refuse to begin talking.
I presume It will be "no higher duties" ban as rumoured. QF will presumably not agree to talks as they have already warned people on various secondments that they will be returning to their crews to resume their normal job description.
