Midnight
we turn up because we get paid a fair wage and our hours although closer to the high end by industry standards arent yet jeopardising our health or safety.
You should speak to your kiwi colleagues once in a while. You will quickly find very rarely do they go sick when they are fatigued. Check their hours, 205 hrs would be a great roster.Most average 230 plus. Midnight if you are going to post on here get your facts right.

Yes we do complain. We complain to mgmt how hard you guys work, we complain we are concerned for your and our safety, we complained when you didnt get a $1000 bonus 2 years ago.We complain about the severity of your conditions.

Midnight you have your wish we will stop complaining.We feel sorry for our kiwi colleagues who live in hope of one day of being made permanent.We know why a kiwi base was created.No overtime, no super, no hours limitations, reduced wage, reduced staff travel etc.
You for the reasons above are important to the business and its time we realise and accept it as part of privatisation and remaining competitive.Lets get on with the job and stop complaining, both Aussie and kiwi bases.
If you can live with it and its obvious you do, then provided our safety isnt jeopardised, then we as you requested should stop making an issue of it.You cant complain with that!
