Good Questions Beerbaron.
That was my Q earlier, how can setting up diff companies purely to bypass the existing EBA be freakin legal??
Especially when the workers do the same job, in the same place, literally side by side with those on the EBA .
If they worked in a diff country, flying diff planes on diff route network, like a totally separate airline then obviously it would be appropriate to have 2 separate contracts etc, like Virgin America and Virgin Australia. Totally diff in every way, apart from the "Virgin" in the title.
