Exactly. No employment group in any industry would end up with an EBA that all members are completely happy with. Of course the Wharfies did but that ended in tears a decade later.
An outcome where either the Company or the Employees are overjoyed at an EBA result will not be sustainable. Both sides should be reasonably happy with most of it but peeved off with a quarter of an EBA. Therefore, a little compromise by both sides.
Is it perfect? Of course not. But do you find the conditions for the next 3 years just so terrible that you can't handle it - then vote NO. Otherwise, vote YES.
The Jetstar debacle 6 months ago was a completely different kettle of fish. The Union did not endorse the deal. It was $hitty deal, and voted down accordingly.
If a NO vote comes in, maybe a better deal is offered, maybe not but this is not a replay of that scenario.
