At the risk of drawing this thread away from the Aust. dispute (happy anniversary for yesterday I believe) let me make a few points to you TSI, and all others who believe they are indestructible.
Fighting between ourselves will achieve nothing.
There is only one "enemy" in this entire saga that we refer to as a career. It is the penny pinching scrouges (commonly referred to as management) who are hell bent on screwing us out of a decent career, and grinding our renumeration down until it reaches what they refer to as an industry standard level.
There is only one way to stop, or at least slow this process. That method is via a group that represents the majority. Presently that group is the AOA.
I, like you are B-scale, yet if you look carefully, you will see that I am afforded certain benefits (medical) which you are not. Why is this so? Because the company are very slowly chipping away at us from all directions. You have the AOA to thank for getting your present P-fund contribution. Were the company to have their way (and they did give it a shot for a short period) you would be getting significantly less.
What is my point? You can beat your chest all you want, but if all of us dont get our sh!t in one pile, (whether it be the AOA or not), we will find ourselves sitting there in 10 or 15 years time, commenting on how lucky we are that the FAU managed to negotiate our maximum housing to only be reduced to $24K, instead of the shared housing policy which the company was about to implement.
Clock is ticking.
