On the subject of a Union busting agenda, give some thought to
the following comments.
"In a meeting in February 2011, I offered Alan Joyce a two-year pay freeze and a commitment to rewrite our certified agreement.
This was rejected out of hand. It is an ideological war and Mr Joyce needed the pilots to be able to lock the staff out in 2011 at a cost of over $200 million. There is nothing wrong with industrial relations in Australia but there is a lot wrong with management"
ex AIPA President Barry Jackson AFR Friday 7 March14
And from today's AFR, Weekend 8-9 March 14.
"We have got to make sure we have more flexible working arrangements.
I think for instance the pilots' agreement is hundreds of pages long.
War and Peace wasn't that long, I don't think."
Qantas Chairman Leigh Clifford.
Ah, help me here Leigh, what was Barry offering you and Alan THREE years ago.
