Pegasus,
If you are genuine and are looking for ideas here’s one, I believe that we have to take the fight to the company. We have to put the heat on Darth and his apprentices and show their rhetoric to be as false.
Call for a media interview with other Qantas unions and point out that Darth was telling porkies when he said that the company had a reduced profit of 9.6% compared to the previous time last year.
When you take into account the $69.6 million set aside for restructuring and the one off accounting provision of some $52 million, the company actually increased its profit.
This then shoots down Darths call for job losses especially if the company can do this when the fuel price has increased so much...
I would love to see Darth interviewed on TV and watch as he tries to explain his creative accounting exercise.
As I have said we have to be proactive and that does not mean giving into blackmail which was happened with the JFK vote.
What happens if they tell us the same thing with the SFO trips ,that if we don't do something else they will crew the SFO trips with AKL crew..do we give in again or do we make a stand...
let's take the fight to the company and not let them off the hook when they make a mistake and a deliberate one such as this to justify their call for a reduced Australian workforce…
Show everyone that Darth's description of the state of the company is false and that we don't need to take the drastic steps that he is calling for because of his deception to the government,the public and the stock exchange
