knowing your priorities
It was with respect that I read that the Unions NSW was selling its recreational area at Currowong so as to raise millions of dollars to fight the Howard Govt's Union Busting IR laws........
meanwhile back at the Lotus Land of the FAAA - why would you move out of Sussex St -the home of Unionism in Australia - the real power base where its easy to physically cross paths with some of the most powerful union reps in Aust - why do you leave network central and spend $900,000 of hard earned members fees on a office in the Mascot burbs??? (Even Qantas Management has realised the absurdity of basing its operaions in over priced Sydney)
When will the FAAA realise that it doesn't just represent the senior & selfish of The Shire?
And just quietly - I still reckon a Senior Union Official working "for the bucks" & breaking all minimum rest requirements (a precedent the Company would love to establish) on a National Union Day of Protest -has to come very close to being right down there with our well known colleagues who decided to work on our Stop Work Day back in Feb. 2004. The gentleman in question should do the right & honourable thing.........
It would not surprise me in the least if I shortly get a memo from the FAAA announcing PERFORMANCE BONUSES for the union execs if they get us our crew rest seats back or an allownace increase.....the lines between Management & Union are becoming blurred.....is the memebership just "grooming" more future Cabin Crew Manangement- in -waiting?
