Thumbs down 10.9

[LEFT] The 10.9 roster removes all of the conditions of the original 12 hour roster with nothing in return to the perth guys.
20th days (RDO)gone.
Wage average gone.
Effective wage down by an an average of 12-14 grand.
The pinapple wants them to do shift extensions and overtime "äs required" to cover the 1.1 hours to keep a 4 on 4 off roster.
A roster group gave the company a cost effective alternative to the 10.9. A 4 on 5 off roster was rejected outright by the company so the enginners are standing firm continuing on the 8 hour roster.
Make no mistake, the 10.9 roster is about reducing contitions and remuneration and the engineers will not bend.
The only way the current 8 hour still operates is through a couple of DMM's doing massive amounts of overtime and call ins. The helpful S**B's that come over to allow the DMM's to get leave. The brother's that fly over to bail out a/c.
The pinapple with short notice changes individual roster start times to fill holes in his plan on a daily baisis. Sick leave is soaring and leave is being cancelled to keep his grand vision going.
The latest tactic's are :
1. Threatened cancellation of long service leave
2. Cancelling the Malaysian and Royal Brunei enginnering contracts (therefore loss of enginner customer payments)
3. The "open checkbook" for licence training if overtime is done
The ALAEA is back in the comission on friday over the DMM's continuing on the 12 hour 4 on 4 off roster after the extended hour roster agreement has finished in Perth.
