Have bitten my tongue long enough, here goes.
When this latest dung fight started I remember hearing the war cry "rostering, remuneration and benefits". Never was 49er part of the song. Unfortunately it is now the only song I hear. The 49er's are merely a casualty of war and should be treated as such. They are now however the major stumbling block which we continue to stumble on. Yes I have discussed this with several '49er's' as anonymous forums are generally a waste of time.
Before anyone votes for the next president ask him this. 'Dear Captain X, how are WE going to fund your plan for a resolution?'
Sadly by mistake, sacking 49 of my fellow workmates was a masterstroke by CX as my union lost focus immediately.
Please get back to the issues.
