Steve,
A bit of clarification please.
They just had that story on the radio news here in Brisbane again, great story about what is happening, and about although it was unusual how the ALAEA have offered to provide coverage for these 1 hour stoppages so as to NOT disrupt the travelling Public.
Then however they had some Qantas
PR Woman come on and say that no Company including Qantas was going to pay people 8 hours pay to cover their Mates stopping for 1 hour.
Unless things have changed dramatically since I retired that is NOT true is it? The LAMEs extending 1 hour would just get 1 hours overtime, 2 hours pay, and the ones stopping for 1 hour at the start of night shift would LOSE 1 hours pay plus any shift penalty, so the cost to Qantas would be LESS than 1 hours pay, yes???
8 hours pay would, I think, only apply if someone was called in, yes?
Why do Qantas continually put out such untruths.
