I've had another look at this issue and read the AFAP cadet deal in conjunction with the flexi-line arrangements and I calculate that the cadets have been potentially shortchanged by approximately $20,000 - $26,000 per annum based upon my understanding of section 206 of the Fair Work Act.
Essentially, according to my understanding the deal that has been struck is not compliant with the Fair Work Act. No wonder that JQ management Snapped Afap's hand off and rushed everything through when the deal was being struck!!
Unfortunately for management the correct way to deal with this situation is for the salary within the agreement to be corrected in line with the Act.
