THE federal government's reluctance to subsidise jobs and industries is a smokescreen for cuts to wages and conditions, the Australian Council of Trade Unions says.
Employment Minister Eric Abetz defended the government's decision to leave SPC to its own devices with the backing of parent company CCA.
"What they need to do is have a look at some of their cost structures and help themselves," Senator Abetz told the ABC. He maintained that some conditions in the SPC enterprise agreement are "over-generous" and dated and should be addressed. "At the end of the day, that is the company's responsibility, the unions' and the workers' responsibility to come together to make sure that this enterprise can succeed," he said.

Without some lateral thinking and flexibility all round, really can’t see the long run outcome at Qantas being substantially different.
And what a national disgrace that would be.
