More of the Future!

Just a note to those going yeh ha…. By doing overtime, of which you still have every right to decline, you are propping up the continued overseas ‘A’ check program till a time that they have sufficient resources to relegate Sydney as a Transit stop only. Those working Sydney can see that even though we have withdrawn from PIA, there are no plans to bring back ‘A checks’ on any large scale again.
Winning a better EBA outcome is one thing, but forcing them to hire more troops should be, in my opinion, the major consideration, as when our numbers dwindle how so easy to get rid of us. For those younger LAME’s, if you are committing yourself to a large mortgage how much do you need the short term windfall of O/T compared to a longer term of employment
