QF94,
It's a shame that you feel the way you do about what can be done. Nothing ! ....in your view.
There is ALWAYS something, no matter how big or small and "it's not over until the fat lady sings".
The ALAEA has strategies in place as Fedsec has explained and even now the AMU's Tony Sheldon has appealed the Emirates tie-up to the ACCC. The appeal is based on no examination of Qantas's claim about the international division's terminal decline. The ALAEA may also be party to this appeal.
The strategy of not working OT has been discussed and your view on this has been made clear, but you have no desire to do anything at all. That seems a bit odd seeing as you like to post on this thread regularly.
Is this your way of doing nothing? It's not really. It's an action of doing something except that it's something negative.
I'm sure that the guys affected by the redundancies who read this thread would like to read something positive from you, but if that's beyond you, don't post.
I choose to not have blind faith or simply follow the rest of the herd.
It's easy to do nothing and just keep your head down. It takes a strong person to stand up and generate enthusiasm among his colleagues to take action but you're not one as you say.
To say nothing can be done is a nonsense. It's better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.
