First of all, Congratulations if this is what you wanted but knowing QF (and we had a 18 month 'discussion' about wages and a buggery campaign) I suspect the devil is in the detail.
Personally I don't like disproportionate wage outcomes (don't get me wrong we have voted for some in our package) as usually a majority of people get left behind whilst the minority (usually the ones' best off) benefit.
In the Engineers dispute of 2008 the company pulled out all stops to break the back of it's engineers and their union, they were unsuccessful and the engineers walked away with 4.5% pa on average.
The questions I pose are the following
Do you believe we can resurrect a collective bargaining group for all unions ?
Do you think payrises can make up for a loss of conditions ?
Do you believe that the new 380 payment was an establishment of a new benchmark or a selfish grab for cash by a select group ?
Do you think that the engineers union having the balls to take dixon on paved the way for all other unions to be able to break the glass ceiling that the mad emperor had imposed or was it just a matter of time?
looking forward to some discussion
