Well I don't think the notice will make much difference to the forstaff contractors who would go anyway. They continue to work for an employer who treats the with disdain. They are represented by a union who treats them as lepers. When they work with Qantas staff they are treated with contempt.

So the notice said in essence that if they go up they would feel isolated.

Funny.... I'm sure they'll feel right at home.

You guys better start working on building the relationship with them. They work for the same company as you. It might be in your future interest to have them on side. At the minute they have nothing to lose. The unions have failed to represent them. The company can pretty much tell them where to go and they have to go. The union's lack of representation down there has given forstaff and Qantas management a free run down there.

When it happens. Which I hope it doesn't. Don't blame them. They don't have a choice. Blame the union for knee capping them.
