ALL staff are being employed by Korr under the sham "independent contractor" contract whereby you get no annual leave, no sick leave, no benefits. You may be lucky and get a uniform.
I would like to know what the ALAEA are doing too.

This is the EBA which covers Eastern's Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra bases.

It quite clearly states that contractors can only be used for short term peak workloads or to replace permanent Employees absent for a specific period of time.

And those contractors must be employed under the same terms and
conditions of employment as equivalent permanent Employees

Pretty simple and all in black and white - so I don't know how this has been allowed to happen.
