well, today was the 4th meeting between the union and AsA.
and lo and behold.....
AsA still has not tabled an offer.
2 and a 1/2 months into the so-called negotiation period. (and 1+1/2 months after the first actual meeting on the 12th May)
not sure what's been negotiated so far.
AsA did say that CivilAir's vision document - which someone was happy enough to leak to the media with connotations that it was a claim (even though officially it is not) - quote " tells them nothing".
AsA then apparently went on to schedule further meetings where they wish to discuss "rostering flexibility" amongst other things.
just when I think my morale can't get any lower, this lack of good faith negotiation plunges it even further.
fortunately, my dissatisfaction has an inverse relationship with my morale.
