Bad Adventures...
Strangely, our base tends to share it's progress (within reason) with the crew. I know it doesn't happen as much in Australia, but over here it's quite common to know how we're going against budget, what the sick leave levels are like (mostly because you get called out if it's high), who's got the boot (the base is small) and how recruitment is going.
It does work very differently up here and yes pay talks are on the way. If you were truly well informed as you claim you would know that our equivalent of an EBA is due to expire and the union is in talks with base management over pay and conditions. If you've any reason to doubt it, you are more than welcome to contact Amicus up here.
I have to say, you appear not to like us very much.
Lowerlobe - I agree with your sentiments. We have to work with what we have and make sure we don't lose anymore. I've said it multiple times in the past our bases need to work together rather than against each other.
