Using the old "you had a choice and you accepted the job" as an answer is not a valid one.
Once upon a time women were not allowed to vote........
Same sex marriages, White Australia policy, maternity/paternity leave etc etc.
Do we not undertake EBA negotiations periodically to improve and at the least maintain our conditions? Just because you accepted a MAM position does not mean you cannot try to improve your work conditions.
Plenty of MAM crew joined at a time when that was the only way in. A very limited number from the many who applied then moved to Perth for full-time QAL. This is not an option now. The goal posts keep moving.
Lets support all groups in order to become a better workforce.
