Sources say that QantasLink were not happy about this happening as they had been informed by management that there were no issues outstanding with the workers........seems someone has been telling the odd porky!
QantasLink knows that this issue could flow over to their 'other' workers and anyone who believes they are going to hang around and jeopardise their national ops for a few bums in seats out of this little backwater better think again! Talk is if the issues aren't settled r e a l quick, then the contract will go to someone who will do the right thing by their workers!
The real reason why HM is digging in and trying to screw the workers over through NSWAir is that they entered into the contract at such a low figure that they now are not generating sufficient funds to meet their obligations to the workers and the money is coming out of their pockets.......herein lies one very BIG issue; what element of Aerial Patrol funding is being channelled to NSWAir? AAP is a charity; NSWAir is not!
Time the ATO and ACCC took a close look at how this scam is structured and where does all this money really go?
