one eye redundant:

Can somebody please explain to me how this works.
As I understand it:

Qantas Management's PIA does not commence until 8pm Monday night. Everyone gets paid til then. Presumably, Qantas management notified the appropriate body with the appropriate period to enable their PIA to commence 8pm Monday night.

The grounding of the airline is separate to the Qantas management PIA. The grounding is not Industrial Action (but is a 'precautionary' measure as a result of the Qantas management PIA) and therefore it is not required to be notified. All staff are still being paid even though no aircraft are flying.

If FWA doesnt suspend or terminate ALL PIA related to this dispute, The members at Qantas covered by AIPA, ALAEA and TWU (Pilots, LAMEs, Baggage Handlers) will be locked out and not paid from 8pm Monday, for an indefinite period.

All other staff will attend work and be paid as normal.
