Something is brewing industrially here!
We have an obvious Qantas Management inspired industrial script being followed to the letter by all Qantas entities’ contract negotiators.
It’s as if Qantas Management is manipulating events to cause a company wide , legally allowable Fair Work sanctioned Industrial sh!t storm to engulf it .
One has to ask the question why?
This is just a hypothesis being run up the flag pole to see if it flies under public scrutiny.
So we now see PUP, Clive Palmers United Party that held sway in the Senate about to implode.
We see big business and the Abbott Liberal party openly talking about how an American styled Chapter 11 process could work here in Australia to allow distressed Australian business ’ trade their way out of difficulties through reorganisation of the business under this process .Wouldn’t this type of mechanism achieve exactly the same thing that Work Choices was designed to do?
Is the fall of PUP and its balance of power in the Senate, Abbott’s cue to push for a Chapter 11 type process?
We have the Fair Trade G20 talks that have allowed a door to open for Chinese 457 visa workers to come flooding in.
We have Abbott and the Liberals stressing again and again that “Work Choices is dead and buried!”( of course you would ,due to the political stink it caused)
WILL Qantas be the Liberal Party poster boy industrial vehicle to implement this hypothesis?
Is what happening in Qantas Short Haul, Jetstar, Qantas Link, Cobham, Network, soon to be Qantas Long Haul ,have I missed any?, a precursor to a Company orchestrated Company wide Industrial sh!t storm of unprecedented proportions to sway public opinion whipped to a crescendo by the Murdoch press to allow Abbott and the Liberals to launch their Plan B ,to Work Choices,a Chapter11 clone?
