I find it somewhat incredible that the QF93 dodger (Buchanan) can with a straight face claim that it is ok to outsource as the salaries are comparable in the country the "recruits" are from.
This is the tired cry of globalisation..Sadly with the housing love affair over, all offshore industry further exposes the Australian worker to further downward pressure on terms and conditions. According to Buchanan it is fine to pay in THB. The convenient bit ignored by the protagonists (who include both major parties and the UN) is the company is still headquarted in Australia.
Buchanan has become filthy rich. Thailand crew aren't better off for J*. What happened to the QF base and their crew?
The haut monde get filthy rich, the Australian public wake up, as did the American public. Out sourcing benefits noone, with the exception of the "executives" profiting from the outsourcing. As Bill Heffernan said, "you can't live off a dividend". The self serving p&*cks at can't even deliver that. Mind you they continue to deliver above market Executive remuneration.It ends with a smoking hole in the ground..The passengers and crew have no parachute, the executives do.
