If the EBA is voted down current crew will stay on the current EBA. You can not be forced onto an individual contract unless you sign it, that is the law. Personally I dont want to work 11hr days and give up my 6 certificate free URTI days, so I'm happy to stay where I am, and so are quite a few crew who I have spoken to.
And as for managements "threat" that they will introduce individual contracts should this be voted down, all I have to say about that is what a load of
. Lets see them go ahead and try it. They cant even manage a group of cabin crew on the same collective agreement at the moment. How do they think they'll manage one group on an EBA with a 9.5hr limit and one group on an 11hr AWA? Simple answer.....THEY CAN'T AND WONT BE ABLE TO! Dont let them fool you. Oh......and havent they been so sickly sweet nice this time around with their caring, individual and friendly phone call reminders...."now don't forget to vote will you."
It just makes me want to puke
