Headcone, maybe you aren't Bruce, just some other deluded fool.
Pull your head in. We supported you as much as our corrupt union of the time would allow us. If we had done any form of industrial action we would be out there with you right now as our 'union' failed to even approach the IR commision with regard to any form of industrial action.
Get your facts straight, and if you come in and SCAB, which is exactly what you'll be doing, you will find $100k will not be close to enough for what you will endure.
If you are looking for someone to throw blame at, look at your hero mates from HM who helped set up the 'overflow' facility. the writing was on the wall the moment Avalon opened. We were discussing the demise of SydHM all around the country 3 years before it happened, you just couldn't see past your blinkers !
And if you are considering scabbing go read a few stories from the british miners strike and the australian dock dispute about what happened to scabs after the dispute ended....it ain't pretty......families broke up over the stress !!
$100k to risk your family life......not worth it !
Besides, if you need money, go work for J* or
VB, they pay way more than QF and it'll last for years !!
