So the ALAEA put a "secret" proposal to Qantas almost 3 weeks ago did they? A proposal that forces us to take anywhere between 3 to 5 months without pay per year. And when did they discuss this proposal with us workers and sought our support?
Mistake number one was to put the proposal to Qantas in the first place as it offers no long term solution to the bigger problem.
Mistake number two was to make the offer "secretely" without all of us having some say.
Mistake number three was to then go to the media and claim that somehow we, those directly impacted, supported the proposal assuming Qantas had agreed.
Steve, the day the Association decides to become a dictatorship, you lose my membership, my respect and my support. Today is that day.
