I do work for the Offshore sector but not in australia. So my reference isn't just to australia about layoffs. I was speaking more globally. Its good that you guys are really busy and there are no layoffs but i just dont see it something to get so fired up about.
Companies in all industries across the world are using this recession excuse to cut employee costs and make current employees work harder for the same pay. (The uppers lost alot on their stocks so they need to pad their bonuses in my opinion
)
Companies will always try to pull this crap when they find an excuse and thats why you guys have a union so it shouldn't come to you as such a shock. Believe in your union to pull through for you. isn't that why you pay your dues?
