It would do you well to remember the ACTU's part in this as well - they effectively vetoed other creditors by using the Ansett employees!!. .. .The Ansett employees - as a UNITED GROUP - could have played a far bigger role in their fate, rather than allowing the ACTU to play them as pawns.. .. .Buster Hyman well remembers my saying this some months back, when he responded with something along the lines of "What should we all do - resign from the union?". .. .It wasn't just a play by FLEW to make a fast few million, it was a strategy that the ACTU needed, to regain their stronghold in the aviation transport arena. The Ansett employees votes were worth mega $$'s to the ACTU - and they got it all at no cost!!. .. .The price paid for being apathetic Australians!!
