Just sent out via our email system guys.
Hi members,
I just wanted to pass on a quick message regarding the Qantas EA discussions. As reported last week it was evident that Qantas were working towards an offer to be placed on the table. Further chats have taken place and there has been no real breakthrough. The parties meet again on Wed 2nd of March and we are pretty keen to see the colour of their money and their commitments to job security. At this stage we are unsure whether we are being stringed along so the back pay builds to a point where it becomes an issue should they threaten to take it away. For this reason we will not be accepting any further delay tactics and expect an offer in full to be presented. Failing this, the negotiating team will be looking at other options to secure an Agreement.
Cheers
