Beware
Watch out you junior guys. I was one of the 140 odd cadets / second officers retrenched in 1971. The union of the era , made a lot of noise and promises to have the retrenchments overturned. They went to a meeting with the company and came out with a pay rise. You will get screwed by your union. Incidentally , QF completed our courses. I never went back. As in all industrial situations , the boss is the obvious enemy BUT the union is often your far more dangerous one.
