why are AWA's a bad thing again?
Since leaving Qantas i have been working under an AWA, doing the same job..
im $200 a week better off at the base wage level, Annual leave is the same, sick leave is the same (its actually protected if you read the fine print on AWA's from the govt)
i work a 4 day week. (so i dont need to take leave to have a long weekend) all other conditions are the same. oh, except the 4% pay rises every year so far..
and every employee here is on an identical AWA.
under QF on an EBA...... never had a real pay rise in 10 yrs, 2 yrs of wage freezes, very unfriendly 7 day rotating roster/shift,all Union negotiated of course! all of which i had the joy of paying for!
from my personal experience in the Aviation game.... FuchK the unions!
