At the end of the day we are bound by our Ops manuals which clearly spell's out what we must 'say' or 'not say' to the press.

If there is an industrial issue that we need to raise with the company we use our union as our mouthpiece, as well as our spokesperson to the press.

Our conditions of employment are clear, why do we need to make this person a martyr for his actions? Why can't we use our union to fight these issues, he was a representative why did he speak out as an individual. Why is AIPA with it's large war chest calling for donations?

I will support any individual against an unfair dismissal by their organisation, but was his dismissal UNFAIR?
