Re: ALAEA at it again
And no doubt if QF are successful in driving down conditions at AVV they'll use that as a tool to drive down conditions at QF Heavy Maintenance.
As much as they give me the S--ts, you hace to admire the way they plan their industrial strategies beyond the next six or 12 months.
QF has spent years planning these moves. Little by little, inch by inch they have made advances into the real conditions of the LAMES and AME's employed at QF. The ALAEA exec has either been complicit in these moves or too stupid to see them happening despite beeing warned on numerous occasions by those who aren't fooled by the constant cries of "the sky is falling" "we can't afford to pay you any more".
What we are left with is disharmony and uncertainty about our futures as Australian Aircraft Engineers. The irony is that a lot of this has been brought about by those that were trusted to protect our futures and ultimately will bring about the disintegration of the Association as a union body by reducing it's member numbers to such a low figure as to render it powerless.
