Empire it's been suggested many a time but is always disregarded by management as a discrimantory system (how laughable as the system they employ is precisely discrimantory - only the suckholes get promoted).
Guys wake up this management is failing us and the business and making YOU BELIEVE it's your fault WAKE UP they cannot sack you if you say NO.
There are many reasons for this failing but here's a start
(A) All are wannabees, self promoting, veneer thin of content with little to offer but empty promises and veiled threats
(B) Despite their own self funded claims have very little real time experience ie doing the hard yards of shiftwork most weaseled their way out early taking manager or supervisiory jobs very early in their career then built their way up by undermining others.
(C) None have provided worth or valued input into any of the business areas they have fronted look at the degradation of Base, SIT, Maint Watch, the TEAM A380 debacle, Melbourne merger, Melbourne Heavy Maint, outbase erosion. HAVE YOU GUYS FORGOTTEN WHAT JV DID TO SYDNEY HEAVY ALREADY ? !!!! In fact all of those businesses have suffered not from the 'EBA' or union efforts but simply from management stupidity which is covered up by lies and more management stupidity
(D) They could not beat the men during the dispute so they seek to undermine members terms and conditions by removing external contracts and purporting the 'need' to rebuild the business "You guys need to embrace the future and change your shifts so we can get you more work, please help us plot your own demise"

I say we say NO to any more change until they listen and provide us ALL with equal access to training (For ALL trades), a fair way to aportion it, increased manpower so we can actually take the hundreds of years of leave that is is owed to us..........................
