Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said the airline will not increase its offer after the engineers’ union informed him of its planned industrial action.

He said the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association will commence overtime bans from May 15 and will hold four-hour, stop-work meetings on May 16 and May 23.
How does Geoff Dixon know when we are having stop work meetings?

As far as I was aware the ALAEA hadnt set any days in concrete,as we are just starting with O/T bans.And that is on our days off!!!!!!!

Does this mean the company is planning to stand people down on those 2 particular days to cause the LAMEs to walk off the job? Sounds like they are inciting industrial action.The "workforce-in-waiting" must have finished all their training early.

Hopefully the media are aware that it is Qantas escalating the industrial action on these two Fridays and not the ALAEA.
