It has taken a concerted effort of SOME to bring about an agreement by Qantas with the ALAEA to provide some respite from the redundancies.
It's disturbing to find that the Qantas managers had to be pressured to understand that they have overdone this culling of the engineers.
What is even more disturbing is that there were many so unconcerned about the plight of their workmates that they felt that they need not participate in any strategy to assist them. That being said, it's gratifying to see that there has been an improvement in the position of those affected.
What now?
Those that decided to look after their own interests may well have thought any strategy was not going work and they might as well milk the OT, but such things are not forgotten by others who didn't.
Hopefully. the leave solution will be enough, but this is far from being over. I'm sure the Fed sec knows this and will be working to secure a better outcome down the track.
Nice to see some happier posts.
