Think practical guys. Nobody in Syd will be pushed out the door. If it delays it your payout will be higher due to wage rises. More importantly it gives us time to secure new work. Two on the horizon are 330 reconfig or Ek contract.
On the other hand the ALAEA and Qf disagree on future manning to cover the existing work. I am tipping that they will be gravely understaffed as you take more leave than normal. This will drive large amounts of overtime and for those who think it is appropriate to retain leave as some sort of retirement booster why not just work some extra hours and put the money in the bank.
55 Lames will no longer be down centrelink because of it.
