Was giving up this case anything to do with the 5% payrise for the 380 and other candy in the last EBA rollover?
It's time to get some balls AIPA and take this thing on as we are seriously running out of chances. If we lose and members have to increase subscriptions for a short period to cover a shortfall, then I am all for that. Every new mob comes to power with the mantra of trying to improve relations with management - more often than not to feather the nests of personal ambitions. It has never got us anywhere before.
Its time to take a chance and give the bastards some of their own medicine. I would rather sink knowing that at the very least we tried our best to prevent the impending catastrophe, than to just bend over and lube up.
