True thosecotos, however our actions will merely fast track the outcome, whether that means new employment for some of us or a pay rise with our current employer, the outcome will not change what was going to happen at some time in the future.
Our claim for a slightly higher pay claim is not something that will send this company to the wall, it is a challenge to the company's wages policy due to a change in macro economics and the belt tightening we workers have endued while company profits have been healthy and the increase cost of living we are experiencing. I am sure if QF is gracious in defeat we can partner with them to continue our high standard of aircraft maintenance and a common goal toward a high standard of competitive work practices.
In saying that, like in any argument if either of us lose our cool there will be grief. Hopefully it's at Coward St
