Small turnout for the vote really, shows that alot of people thought the issue is to sensitive to vote on
No it doesn't. People wouldn't vote for many reasons such as, not thinking about work when they go home, not caring too much about what happens at SIT becasue they don't work there, not having a computer at home to log in and some may not have had an opinion either way.
I can recall 3 of these votes for ALAEA members by Election Australia. The turnout has been similar each time.
What is the union's perspective on operational issue's? Is it fair that guys with the A330 get to stay and those who don't get moved, is there a case for discrimination due to the circumstance i.e "why did he get that aeroplane over me"??.
Discrimination is illegal if you can prove you missed out because of -
age, race, sex, sexual preference, maritial status, political opinion etc.....
You wouldn't be successful if you based it on -
I missed out on a course, the boss doesn't like me, I don't cut corners like some or I don't play golf with the manager.
That's why Qantas proudly say that they abide by anti-discrimination laws and EEO policies. I wish they also had to abide by a moral code.
