I really think that any rationalisation for violence in the workplace belongs in a group therapy session somewhere and not being imparted as normal behaviour based upon statistics.
The fact that these overnights now have a confirmend pattern of alcohol consumption, followed by altercations that have become physical, it is time for QF management to take a hard look at employee conduct while in rest at the bequest of management and CASA.
If we get a further escalation of this behaviour, and somebody suffers a permanent disability...or even worse, can you imagine the media frenzy? And the court system will have a field day!
Qantas would be well advised to review their own liabilities with respect to a hostile workplace and duty of care.
