I have been very critical in the past about the ALAEA not pursuing the Government to remove or not allow foreign Engineers here. I have been told this is too hard and they can not control the skills shortage list.
I don't blame you for being angry about this, I am too. It's not the ALAEA's fault though that the Liberal Government legislated 457 options and then put aircraft maintenance workers on the list. We've written and complained about it but it's not our decision to have our profession removed from the list. Maybe they will consider it again if there are people looking for jobs by the end of this week.
