Contract labour on the sly!!!! This is NOTHING to boast about Mr Dixon.
Yeah yeah... you kept jobs on shore.... with forstaff. Nice one.
I will never forget the meeting we had 8 odd years ago, when QF management told us about their plans to set up an "overflow" facility at the old ASTA site.
One of the sheeties got up and got stuck into these fat eletist managers and his words were something along the lines of
"YOU F
G TELL US NOW THAT IT'S AN OVERFLOW FACILITY... GIVE IT FIVE YEARS AND YOU BDS WILL BE SENDING ALL OUR WORK THERE"!
The response from management.... "That is not our
intention" ... the old "get out" clause for when they DO send all Sydneys work south.
50+ Years of Heavy maintenance in Sydney. A wealth of knowledge and skills..... and it's all out the door so that those at the top can continue their justification of over inflated fat sallaries and renumeration.
All I can say is sorry to hear about the outcome for you Sydney guys. Good luck to those we don't see up here in Brissy.
