What Next

Hi All..... Ive been watching for a while but thought I'd better get my own log-on and say my bit.
As I remember, 8 hour rosters weren't much fun. Not many days off etc. Happy to go there if directed of course, however I'd be hoping that it would strangle things enough to force a result from qf quickly. In my mind, it's beyond belief that qf is allowing such damage to occur and not frantically looking to reach an aggreement with us. If this thing drags on, i'd prefer to be on a roster that provides days off and shift penalties. You can be sure that we'd land on the least friendly roster concieveable, probably with plenty of 7am starts.
This campain needs to ramp up quickly of course, but with only one set of staggerred (between ports) stop work meetings behind us, I reckon having a few co-ordinated (all ports at once) stop works (ie: 2, in a week) would certainly get our plight back in the news, ground several aircraft and expose both the imported strikebreakers and those amongst us.
