Now let me point out the obvious. The 'casual' and/or under employment of the work force grows their conditions get worse. The ones who bebefit from them being their are the ones who dump hours or went part time. Those in middle seniority and those who don't dump - don't benefit. So it would seem a minority live the good life, a portion get no change, a portion get disadvantage and some have their condtions worsen.
No casual got to vote on their initial EBA in 2003[what about 2002] and in the 2006 EBA it only got up by 2%, and 100 didn't vote[we had to give staff # - some got scared and didn't vote].
Our representation is conflicted and bias.
Our EBA has been breached several times.
Meanwhile faaa thought contract C was a good thing. Let me see, 20 days[+5 a/v] of life a month with no pay guarantee, no say in days off, or trips, recieving $15000 less a year[if doing same f/t hrs]. 2006/7 VR will be replaced by an equal amount of contract C.
Union too busy fighting for FWA and a seniority to see what is going on is illegal, albeit in a legal loop-hole, no permanent position is safe whilst it can be replaced by an inferior, lower paid worker.
