Hey it's an unfair and cruel world out there, but here's a deal: if the Oz Government will set a precedent and pay out the ex-Ansett overseas based employees their back-pay, ticket refunds, leave pay, retirement fund deuctions and other entitlements, then of course the Australian based employees of a foreign company should expect like treatment.
Lotsa luck!
The overseas based, ex-Ansett employees received nil/nada/SFA. These crews, always treated as 2nd class Asian helpers, were simply left out in the cold, in foreign lands.
Hmm - sorry to get off the thread a bit, but there is a parallel; spare a thought...
