Hey T&S, maybe you should just explain that you're fed up with a HR department whose idea of enterprise agreement negotiation is to look at what the other companies are offering, pick the worst agreement they can find, and then declare that this is the new industry standard. I wonder if that's the method they use during their own contract negotiations: "Hey boss, I just found out that the HR lady at XXX Helicopters gets paid less than me, so in order to make our company more competitive please reduce my salary accordingly".
Yeah right.
