Somebody needs to tell ANFO about the cold , hard facts of industrial life....it might just as well be me!
IRC hearings, re the pilots dispute, were still being held in mid 1990 and were widely reported by the media. As ANFO had an application lodged with Ansett he would have been following events very closely indeed and would have been aware of this.
The AFAP were still holding EGMs in mid 1990 and these were also being widely reported. ANFO would have been aware of this also.
The AFAP executive were still working to achieve a result in the dispute through to the end of 1990 and also into 1991. This was also being reported in the media.
ANFOs post above is disingenuous and reeks of sophistry!
At best ANFO is an opportunist , at worst a scab!
There were intake F/Os on course at the time of the dispute. They new what they had to do , and to their credit , they acted like principled men.
You are sadly lacking in principles ANFO...
And you are a scab!
