Insider trader, the belief of the Board is that the entire value of QF is in the brand and that the services it supplies can be delivered by monkeys.
This is similar to the Carnival Cruise Lines business model:
1. the. Black gang, staff unseen by the public are ragged Indians and Filipinos who never have contact with passengers except in very rare situations.
2. "Front of house" staff speak English and come from Eastern Europe and developing countries.
3. Staff are deliberately chosen from a mix of nationalities on the "divide and rule" principle.
4. All staff are employed through agencies on one year contracts. starting dates are staggered so that about 10% are up for renewal and have to leave the ship at the end of each voyage.
The purpose of this strategy is to ensure no unionisation is possible and any who try can be easily removed.
Business performance is achieved by slavish adherence to detailed manuals for every single function on the ship down to the washing of the underside of chairs at set intervals.
Outsourcing is used to the hilt. The bar staff buy the rights to run the bars. A doctor buys the rights to run the medical clinic, etc.
That is the model you are headings for: indentured slavery.
