Management are already winning the PR war
From Balance's quote from News.com, management are already ahead.
Barry Jackson got 2 lines in, one of which being a direct quote.
The rest was ALL QF.
So guess who has got the first public shot across with respect to pay? Yep - management - saying that it's all about increased pay and undermining the icon.
The message should be simple:
- no pay rise over CPI
- job security
Maybe THAT should be on the lanyards (and big, very visible QF-red stickers on crew bags as they go around the carousel?).
They are playing the standard, these-highly-paid-glorified-bus-drivers-want-more-dosh strategy, so think up something different.
