Yes AtALoss, aboslutely correct. I followed it up again late today - actually saw a fax copy of the memo. 23rd was the only detail, no explaination of how it is going to work (or not work as the case may be!!) - I guess that's because they have no idea, and are just hoping against hope that perhaps it might work.
My source (admittedly, not from Melbourne) said that the company's position is that they have addressed all of the long list of "matters for consideration". I wonder if any of the Melb staff affected agree and especially if the ALAEA agrees with this statement. Would be good to hear the ALAEA's position on this.
From my reading of just point one and two of the ALAEA's letter to QF management, there must have been a written agreement between both parties AND it shouold have been voted on by those involved. Has this happened???
Then there are the other 31 points!!!.........
This situation could set precedents for those
of us in the rest of the country - so I do feel we should be kept informed (ie many of the issues are national - not local).
Can you shed any light ALAEA Fed Sec?
