Virgin Blue Cabin Crew EBA

[wirgin blew]

Back to the EBA. The thread has drifted a little.

There is a EBA survey through the company email. Please take the time to fill it out and let them have it in the last box.

The FAAA had this to say last Thurs 06 Nov.

FAAA Virgin Blue News
ENTERPRISE BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE


Members have contacted the Association with serious concerns that it would appear Virgin Blue is planning to negotiate the next EBA without the Association.
Senior Management gave a commitment to your FAAA Workplace Delegates & Industrial Staff at a preliminary EBA meeting in late September that they were finalising their position and would come back to us in a few weeks.
The Association is extremely disappointed that Virgin Blue has not honoured its commitment by informing us of its intentions and/or its current progress with proposed EBA agenda items.
Virgin Blue continues to frustrate attempts to negotiate a new EBA which we have been pressing for over the last few months. In addition, setting up another forum for negotiations can only serve to frustrate our reasonable attempts to achieve a decent collective Agreement and can only be seen as an attempt to divide crew.

IT’S TIME
It’s time to move and be seen as ONE GROUP who are entitled to have their legitimate claims processed through negotiations which should be conducted in good faith. A Union Collective Agreement offers advantages that would not necessarily be available in a non-Union Agreement; in that your collective interests are represented by a professional negotiating body and truly independent when reaching desired outcomes for and on behalf of the majority of crew.
The consistent message from our survey results so far is, above all else, cabin crew want the FAAA to protect and improve working conditions such as duty hour limitations and rest provisions.
The only way to have the strength as a group to truly pursue our reasonable and legitimate claims is with a specialist experienced cabin crew union part of the negotiations.
Crew need to be part of the FAAA as strength is measured on numbers. Let’s demonstrate 100% strength.
