It is so frustrating that EVERY time the AOA go in to negotiate they come back with an inferior offer and one way or the other it gets through.
You will see, if we do get a payrise it will be in conjunction with higher duty times, lesser housing etc etc....and this is no payrise at all. A payrise now should be unconditional. Thereafter if the company want higher productivity, housing changes etc, THEN that should be negotiated SEPERATELY.
Why can't the AOA get this into their heads?????
....and if the company won't negotiate then let the AOA require contract compliance, etc, of us. Actually do something instead of sending weekly missives pointing out how we are being screwed by the company. We KNOW we are, we don't need the AOA to point it out to us, we need the AOA to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it.
