time to start thinking like a business if you want to keep this dream alive
Actually, there is another way - it’s called Board Representation.

The Germans’ see having Employees on Boards as a way to build more capable companies and Gina Rinehart/Mark Carnegie are at it in Australia simple because they think they can do things better.

If the Qantas Workforce could everget its head around sacrificing salary for equity, they too, could exercise far reaching strategic influence, albeit not directly industrial.
Regretfully this kind of activity is not generally popular in Australia with the Union Movement, which is kind of strange, given that Unions wield significant influence in our Superannuation Arena.

The Yanks do it, the Brits do it, but not Down under.
Opportunity knocks!
