Seriously, drop the staff travel claim. Focus on the job security claim because without job security there will be NO staff travel.
With job security, the next EBA can focus on staff travel. Its not like this is the last chance we have to fix the staff travel issues!!
We have been given stickers, lanyards, bag tags etc saying "secure our flying" not "improve staff travel".
I am passionate that this is what we need to do to make this a success, with staff travel claims in the negotiations, it will ALWAYS be about money when Qantas talk to the media. Lets see them grapple with the media and public opinion when what we want becomes, less than inflation pay rise and jobs to stay in Australia. There is no "greener grass" that the company can spin off. The travelling public wont want Bing Lee and Bok Choy up front.
