Does anyone else think it's very strange that right on the crux of pay and rostering negotiations (in good faith!), the company distracts us with A day cancellation, threat of doctors certificate requirements, and a base closure?
Personally, I think they are trying to pi$$ us of on purpose so we vote down any crappy negotiated pay and rostering deal so they can then implement whatever they want and thus save more money!
As far as the doctors certificate goes, bring it on. My GP has always tried to give me huge amounts of time of for minor ailments (he's not particularly fond of CX!). In the future I'll take him up on the offer. He knows best after all!
