The union is chasing the points/Eq stuff up.
Firstly it was the case that the company had said that promised training would count towards points. The statement about Eq points only as per that locked in on Feb 28 is incorrect.
The problem we are encountering is this. Some people have been credited with "promised' training to save their ass, even when they weren't even qualified to carry out the make believe training the company has said these people were promised. On the other hand, others who have been given their marching orders had completed company training and not yet picked up the licence and were not credited with points. I have instructed Gary in our office to prepare a Fair Work Commission case regarding these discrepancies.
Aside from that we have now lodged the primary case in the Federal Court against Qantas for them failing to consult in accordance with the Workplace Determination. My 700 page affidavit was submitted at 4PM yesterday.
