I know one of the people on the list. He's a good bloke, was interviewed etc before the ban started, but because his course date was after the imposition of the ban he is now branded. Doesn't quite compute. He also voluntarily contributes 5% (or whatever everyone else is) of his salary to the 49ers fund.
Other mates of mine up there don't agree with the ban. All it is doing is preventing good people from joining the company while others who are less desirable will take the job anyway.
Shouldn't the list also mention all the other scabs from previous disputes, such as the job thieves from Qantas NZ's lockout of '99 who got into Cathay before the ban, after QFNZ went under last year? They and their ilk are the true low-lifes in this industry. If only there was a way to get rid of them...?
Good luck to all good people at Cathay. Being labelled a scab, for whatever reason - right or wrong - is a bad, bad thing to bring upon yourself IMHO, a big no-no
