You need to be honest with yourself. The idea that people like
Steve Purvinis choose the pay and conditions you work under, and will inflict wounds on a company until they agree is incorrect. The idea that it's 'bargaining in good faith' for people like
Steve Purvinis to propose something a little beyond what he's after and expect the airline to accept 90% of what he asked for is incorrect.
If you are upset that the company ended up taking action in return, you should address those concerns to those you asked to represent you.
Yes it's not nice for the the QF staff effected. I feel aweful for their families. It's just a horrible shame that you've allowed Union reps to put you in this circumstance through unrealistic expectations.
You can't keep milking a cow that is sick.
