perhaps it will all be explained at the next "accelerated negotiations" meeting tomorrow.
actually, no. (not that I'm surprised)
the good ship SS AsA just declared ramming speed for the iceberg.
They are still pushing for
1.
obligatory overtime ('because I'm an employee, in thier opinion, I HAVE to do overtime)
2. "
simplified" redeployment/redundancy procedures..... hmmmm.
3.
keeping greviances in-house, and much harder to reach an external independant authority
4.
consultation - AsA will tell us about things, listen to our viewpoint, but still make decisions that are "best for the business" - whether we agree or not
5.
flexibility - allow individual variation to things such as:
hours of work;
starting times, shift lengths & breaks; penalty rates; redeployment/redundancy;
6.
discipline
I can't wait to see what TFN and board do tomorrow (Sunday) to fix the staffing problem by 1st of September.
