ASA are taking Civilair to the IRC, blaming them for an industrial campaign that is causing service disruptions.
Civilair has NEVER directed ATCs not to do overtime. Apparently there were some 'notes' left in a couple of peoples 'mailboxes' at work.Who (?) it was who actually left these notes is not known.
ASA contend that this is some form of industrial action, they have also been furnished with a couple of edited comments off the Civilair Members Only forum site, and are citing these to back up their dubious claim.
They are not citing the many comments on the site that pertain to, an individuals right to assess their own fitness for duty in regards to overtime, ASAs total mismanagement over the last six years of its workforce planning, or the fatigue and disengagement of its workforce. ASA don't do 'balance'.
ASA will cite this trip to the IRC as an example of an industrial action, and try to lay the blame on the controllers in an attempt to cover up the culture which has been exacerbated under Greg Russells stewardship.
Who has 'gained' under this 'discovery' of notes? If in fact, someone did attempt to intimidate people, ASA should track them down and discipline accordingly.
