Sunfish. Perfect snapshot of what the issues are and have been for the last 12-14 months of negotiation.
You may also find of interest is that according to AIPA, when they sat down with Qantas on Tuesday to take up from where they left off negotiations on Friday- the day before Joyce grounded the airline- the Qantas reps politely declined to negotiate on the basis that they needed to seek 'direction from the board'.
Everything changes and nothing changes.
Funny about seeking direction from the board. LC clearly stated during the AGM last Friday that the board does not get involved in matters that are between management and employees. They do not get involved in disputes.
Isn't that what the board ultimately want.
The game is either you give us QF on a platter or we will destroy it.
Also during the AGM, AJ made it very clear that "We will not be told how to run "OUR" business.
It is evident that this dozen on the board believe that QF is theirs and no one will stop them. I think they have grossly undrestimated the will of the employees, the unions, the general public and government.
