Management is on top
The use of strike breakers during periods of dispute is not unusual. All the recent emotion about this from the frontline workers is a joke. Strike Breakers are part and parcel of life these days and they certainly do a wonderful job. It is imperative that our planes keep flying, our passengers remain happy, our KPI’s and bonus criteria is met and the shareholder remains happy. Not to employ Strike Breakers would be unwise, unethical and poorly planned.
Our Strike Breakers are extremely well trained people. They often perform a better job than the salaried full time workforce they are temporarily replacing and they are more highly skilled and far more adaptive and appreciative of the difficult financial environment we all work in.
Management believe that Strike Breakers should be included in future Enterprise Agreements and that the role of the Strike Breaker should have its own PD attached and form part of the organisations structure. This would allow management to widen the scope of productivity ensuring the shareholder is adequately cared for and incurs no loss to their portfolio value. The fact is that an aeroplane is easy to fly, an engine is easy to replace, and a couple of bags are easy to stack underneath. One does not need an overpaid workforce to fulfil this task. It is Management and HR that make an organisation continue to run effectively and profitably and the sooner that frontline workers realise this the better.
Yes, truly, the role of the Strike Breaker in modern business models is a highly valued and highly respected role. Management and the Strike Breakers look forward to future synergies and a strong bond.
