Nah! Its not the money...apparently.(?)
From today's 'West Aust' (PH), page 1 no less....
"QANTAS has secret plan for strike breakers'.
Then goes on to say Qantas has devised a plan to smash the influence of a powerful trade union with strike breakers being offerred $100,000 for just six months work as aircraft engineers.
It goes on to say that the airline has been 'quietly offering contracts to strike breakers at least since mid-January, documents reveal.'
Aircraft engineers chasing a 5%/year pay rise - '...Geoff Dixon has said he will not budge from a 3% / year offer...'
Further down.....
....'Sydney labour hire firm, Newport Aviation'.....
offers contracts for six months or less,....
'about $2300/week and dangle a $40,000 "completion bonus".
This equates to about double the average.......
What more can an 'interested' SLF say??
