I have heard that the DMMs in Perth are working 12 hour shifts.
How can this be if QF has withdrawn from the 12 hour shift agreement?
I believe all the other LAME's are working 8 hour shifts in the absence of any extended hours shift agreement, so why not the DMMs too?
I believe Commissioner Rafaelli of the AIRC has even made orders that everyone there must work the 8 hour shift. Could the DMMs that are working 12 hour shifts be in defiance of the AIRC orders and be considered to be taking industrial action? What does the "Work Choices" legislation say about this?
Could anyone shed light on this situation?
