Well well well, the EBA has been voted down, yes i agree what a surprise particularly given the big push by the MSN crew to vote no ! i don't think AF can take all the credit though, there are some of us that don't take any notice of him at any time and also didn't like the deal.
I do hope AF has got a way forward from here for all those that do take him seriously. With the Mac bank crew taking over and the papers saying that no one knows how the QF group will be run now, i for one don't feel secure at all with the no vote.
Does he know if eaa crew join the TWU that the company will deal with them ? Does he know if the TWU wants a small group of regional crew to look after. Didn't the pilots have a similar situation and the company basically told them to go jump ?
Can someone who has been invited to the MSN thing ask AF to check if its mandatory, seeing he is the one with the
and into research.
I understand that AF does know now that DH's letter and the union meeting were within the limits of so called coercion and duress, i can only imagine that the union did too and thats why there was nothing jumping up and down from FAAA on the letter from our esteemed leader. Apparently it is ok to recommend a vote (DH's letter) and for the union to tell us that they don't know what will happen with a no vote. Actually i'm pretty sure thats happened every EBA.
The QF forum has some really interesting info on what is being touted around about all our futures, the main thing that i am afraid of is that with the new owners coming in, they will know that we were offered a new agreement and said resoundingly that we didn't want it (and ss apparently did). Does anyone else think that that puts us in a precarious position, or is it just me being paranoid ???? I think not.
Well kiddies now is our chance to show that company what we are all about, the union newsletter said there would be meetings in the new year, i for one will be very interested in what AF has in store for us there, or if he has managed to get the TWU to take us on and then get the company to deal with them. Guess he's going to be a busy boy this Xmas.
Don't take this post as anything other than what it was meant for, to get us all thinking about what the hell we are going to do now and how we could now be held very much accountable for our actions!!
Me thinks its about to hit the fan big time !!!
