s318 Fair Work Act Application
Members are advised that AIPA informed Qantas on Thursday, 4 April 2013 that it would support the extension of the s318 Fair Work Act Order to remove any uncertainty about the transferability of Terms and Conditions of Employment when pilots transfer between different Qantas Group entities, including Jetstar.
Qantas in reply informed us that they required two changes to the current Order, namely:
(i) making the order indefinitely (it currently has a 12 month time limitation); and
(ii) the removal of the requirement for a pilot to resign voluntarily for the order to be effective.
We responded that we would consent to (i) removing the time limitation but not to (ii) the voluntary transfer requirement.
So under the previous order I could resign voluntarily, but now Qantas want me to resign involuntarily?? How do you resign involuntary????
