Who should get on with what ?
Pegasus you said
a word of advice to FAAA officials of both divisions. Get of the cross we need the wood!!!!!!
get on with the job of protecting ALL flight attendants job security. YOUR loyalties should be with the members not the current employess or officials. You are all replaceable and no one is indespensible.
Get your acts together fast OUR livelihoods depend on it. We will not be patient forever
Surely this is directed solely at your union? Is it not your union that continues to get sidetracked by the infantile lure of tacky journalism ? Not only are they content to cash in on their "frequent quoters program" with the SMH and take advantage of their "free story print on a slow news day" as a reward for their umpteenth quote with the fairfax group, but also think nothing of toying with the hopes of a group of workers by giving them the advice that “media exposure” would help. All the while knowingly using them as pawns in a game of cheap publicity and mud slinging.
Still not content they waste more time, effort and energy reproducing this “trashy rag” reporting on their website under the guise of membership information..... all while rome burns, as you so aptly put it.
Meanwhile over at sh faaa they put out the following advice their THEIR members 5 days ago.
The need for solidarity amongst our membership is not only critical for the challenges of the Qantas sale, but in dealing with the disgraceful Work Choices Legislation, introduced by the Federal Government.
Therefore rather than rumours, gossip, good or otherwise, we strongly recommend all members read the front page article of the Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday April 17, 2007 on “How AWA’s Strip Workers Rights”. This sobering account should reinforce for all concerned, the need for solidarity, moving together and protection of Enterprise Agreements.
Pegasus I think you were trying for the same message but they said it better, then again, they usually do.
The exhibited behaviour of the two divisions over the last couple of days should leave no flight attendant in doubt on who is actually “getting on with the job of protecting ALL flight attendants’ job security” and who is running the rhetoric.
