As much as I agree that the TWU is concerned for the jobs of their members as more airlines (Phillippines) walk away from QF ground handling, the way these clowns held their stopwork meeting was a discrace.
By having all members hanging around the front of the terminal as passengers streamed out without their bags and then blocking the traffic on the roadway until the police came along will not win any support from the travelling public to their cause.
QF are bleeding customers from their Ground handling and Engineering operations. How long before NZ or MH walk due to the main issue that QF cannot gaurantee that union action will disrupt their services.
If the union wants to bring QF to its needs, then pick on QF flights only and give the service that they are paid to do by their customers.
As soon as the customers walk so do the TWU jobs.
