26 of 29
QantasStrike,
Granted, I am not a Qantas LAME, neither am I in the employ of Qantas in any capacity. However, if you honestly believe your workforce is the only group to ever feel aggrieved towards their employer then you are quite waylaid. I have been in exactly the same position as yourselves; unappreciated, underpaid, overworked, stressed, ignored etc.
I was merely pointing out that once you lose the moral high ground, it is impossible to regain it. The moral high ground is your groups most important asset in the media battle ground. Even if 26 of the 29 LAME were actually ill on the same day, the possible public perception of this will portray your group in a very poor light.
Regards
SP.
