Professor,
The majority of QF employees
support the ALAEA and their strong action against QF management. Pilots, Engineers and Cabin crew have witnessed a noticeable degradation in many operational areas of the company since Dixon and his management team have occupied their positions.
Fantastic to see the engineers solidarity and espirit de corps..
QF employees have had enough of the constant negativity, dishonesty and self-interest typical of Qantas's senior management..
Dixon's inability and lack of desire to negotiate with one of his key employee groups highlights his extremely poor management style. The CEO is paid an
extraordinary amount of money to sort these type of issues. Presently, his ego driven tactics are costing the customers, the brand and the shareholders... Just about everyone - except Dixon!..The QF Board - by allowing him to act in this way are also being extremely irresponsible..
Employees are not terrorists - they are
CRITICAL STAKEHOLDERS in the organisation!.. Management involves negotiation and possibly a little bit of GIVE and TAKE!..
The people holding the Qantas operation together right now are those at the coal face all over the world. Their professionalism and invaluable experience is the Qantas Brand - not Dixon and his mates.. It is the employees - the
CRITICAL STAKEHOLDERS that finally deserve to be heard. As CEO it is Dixon's responsibility to sit down, LISTEN and NEGOTIATE...
