Recent update:
I spoke with a current MAM casual who stated that they also had been given the call after the shortlisters were called. My friend said he wasnt interested and said he felt quite pressured by them but also stuck to his guns.
The union from what I understand have received severals calls on this matter.
The qantas person who initially contacted me on behalf of MAM said they would contact me back yesterday afternoon...no call has come since...and I hope they are at least polite enough if this doesnt go ahead to offer explaination calls to those they have weighed down with this...that would be the least they could do.
Somehow I dont think this will go ahead...but i do tend to agree with Alpha bravo charlie...think before you take this on board.
3 days contract work (scabbing) to end up back on a shortlist
with no guarantees and a lifetime of being blacklisted for being a scab
Vs
Saying no and awaiting the outcome.
I'm not interested! Sometimes your own conscious is more important than 3 days work with no guarantees. Think about it
What really irks me - is to think of what this industry is coming to.
The games they play with peoples lives!
