Any action in support of the QF Lames could result in the fining of the person and possibly the assoc. Remember it is Qantas Lames and not Forstaff Lames who have a legal right for protected industrial action. Through the years Qantas have been let off the hook by Forstaff Lames willing to step into the acting role, good for the Lame in that he gets the experience,(and the pityful allowance) but bad for him in real terms in that Qantas could never fill these positions and there are still outstanding problems with CASA in the structure of Avalon.
In the general scheme of things with the PIA, one would expect and hope that there would be support for the guys at Tulla, Syd et all. There is of course the expected push from Forstaff to engage certain Lames to perform 'work' at other ports. This happened during the Perth dispute when a certain ex-federal sec asked avionic Lames with LE to go there and 'help out'. No was the answer from us.........and still is.
