NEWSFLASH- ALAEA ELECTION RESULTS

[REALITY]

it appears that we will soon have a new exec in place to take us into the future.
:confused: But hold on to your seats........the current exec are set to contest the result on a technicality. Apparently QF missed a payment of union dues so they claim many voters are non financial.
:ugh: Does this sound familiar to anyone?? Surprise surprise....they are trying to manipulate the voice of the members to their advantage once again. Keep having votes untill the result they want is achieved.:=
:ok: But we know that the voice of the members is loud and clear.
ooroo boys;)

[Turbo 5B]

You can't post a "news" flash here.
But it sounds like a good thing though.

[Apophis]

ALAEA
As usual keep voting untill we get the the result we want:ugh:

[BARON DRIVER]

no doubt QF will support this claim by the exec!

[numbskull]

Gee, I couldn't have predicted that!!!

If that's their best hope of remaining in power then God help those that are left if they're sucessful. The membership has spoken.

[Syd eng]

Is there a website that we can find the results or will we have to wait?

[Turbo 5B]

Yes...it is this one.

[Sunfish]

Good Luck guys. I guess the union will only last long enough to destroy your profession.

[REALITY]

results should be out today....

[Sunfish]

My guess is your results won't be out today. My guess is that the ALEA executive will have asked for and received an injunction prohibiting their release until the matter of the "unfinancial" members is sorted out which will take.......years. Of course the simplest thing is to have another ballot, but that will be studiously avoided.

[REALITY]

:) all members first team elected to office with the exception of qf staff councillor.


cheerio to the old boys :ok: :D

[domo]

any score was it a landslide or close?

[chemical alli]

so jump for joy you say lets not put the horse before the cart.so now comes the waiting game word is the company was waiting on the result to see just how far to take redudancies .will the new exec support the members like the old gaurd did?

[Turbo 5B]

Bring it on! :D

[masterstroke]

I hope that the Tulla Heavy Maintenance guys enjoy their new jobs with Forstaff at Avalon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Turbo 5B]

If Qantas think that any redundancy program at Tullermarine will be any easier for them they have another thing coming.

[REALITY]

any score was it a landslide or close?


it was a landslide....approx 900 to 300 for senior positions

[BARON DRIVER]

well if tulla is in the gun sight, hopefully the alaea and the ame metals fight the battle together?

[Turbo 5B]

What a damn fine strategy. It's a shame that no one has thought of that before.

Good work boys it has been a long time coming. :)

[mahatmacoat]

Looks like that rules out any opportunity to contest it in court.

[BARON DRIVER]

Well done guys :D

[Mr Qantas]

That results is a load of rubish I rang the alaea office today and they told me there wont be any news until tommorow but it is typical of how those Melbourne liars work. The most of our members I now are happy with the stability of the current people and have voted acordingly. So go dream on and wish you had what it takes to make a difference and god help us if any of the troublemakers fall over the line. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[The masked goatrider]

First posted on GLSOL 2 years ago

Now for a story of past and present told by a breath of wind that circled the coast. At the beginning there was a workforce and it had no direction and workers met and discussed a vision for the future. On the first day they created an office and it was in Kogarah, they told the office to sit tight for you shall soon be filled

On the second day they created a body and that body was called the Executive. There was no creature yet capable of becoming the body so it sat idle, something that the executive came known for.

On the third day they created the asn staff. There was no creature yet capable of being employed so they employed incompetents. They refused to answer or return calls.

On day four they manufactured a cabinet and in it they placed a bottle of red wine. The label on the bottle read – “This bottle will refill itself from members funds but be warned for he who drinks from the bottle shall be forever tainted.”

On day four they signed the awards. In it were many clauses to protect the workforce. They now felt secure.

On the fifth day they were given free airline tickets. They placed them in the Kogarah office and the tickets waited for a creature to use them. For no creature had yet been created to use the tickets.

On the sixth day they held an election to fill the Executive. It was run by the AEC who had a long history of losing bags filled with ballot papers.

On the seventh day the results were declared. There was joy as the operation was now capable of running within and outside the bounds of the rules. The leader was a proud man, too bold to work for an airline, and he was paid.


Now the leader did his work without question and he was proud of his achievements so he asked the workers to give him a wife. They sent him one from Brisbane and told him that his new wife had a good record, they had videos to prove it. His wife was full of joy, but she was a dummy. She wandered around aimlessly, too thick to distinguish the day from the night. She was taken by a demon into the bars and eating houses around Coogee, and she enjoyed it. She had developed a taste for the highlife and desired more. She saw the bottle of red wine in the cabinet and chose to ignore the warning on the label, she drank from it, and it tasted good.

Now the leader was busy typing newsletters about the ships of shame when the wife approached him with the bottle. She asked him to drink from the bottle but the leader was wiser than that. He read the warning and said to his wife “I will not be infected with the wrath of evil”. Now the wife cracked the sads, for we all know how lonely it can be drinking alone. She said “if you do not drink, I won’t lie down with thee on this fine evening” “the wine is good, it has made me invincible, the only side effect is the constant lean of my head to the left hand side of my body”.

So the leader drank. They laughed together, both with heads leaning to the left of their body. They took small portions of the wine and laced the coffee of the office staff with it. On the evening of that day the man and wife laid together. They made love and 113 days later (the gestation period of a common swine) a child was born. The named him Igor.

Igor was a good creature and he refused to drink from the bottle. He soon was given a brother, they called him Svetna. Now Svetna was fed from the breast and so was infected by the wine. Svetna could see that the members were unhappy. For Igor had shown them some light. The bottle of red wine was held high by Igor in front of the members, they demanded it be taken to the top of an impassable mountain and hidden from the leaders.

Svetna was waiting in a windswept valley, his tusks sharpened and parents behind him. Svetna hid behind a big rock that was painted with a large red triangle. As his brother approached he charged. At the point of impact Svetnas head tilted to the left and only one task pierced its target. Svetna and his parents had not noticed and they rejoiced. The parents allowed free and open drinking from the bottle to all their family and the staff from the Kogorah office.

Unbeknown to them, Igor had survived and was healed by a tribe of farmers from south of the border. He was given a bride and they raised their own tribe. A family free from the evils of the wine bottle. A pure race that was rewarded by the gods of the seven harps with higher intellect and untainted morals.

Time passed, the days turned to weeks, the weeks into years the years into millennia and the story of the beginning was forgotten. The new executive had been formed with great men that had descended from the original leader and his wife. Their hand was still on the bottle and their declared it part of their heritage. For it was their god given right to drink from it and nothing could be done to stop them. For they were invincible.

Now a new child had been born in a land to the South. He had brothers, and they came from the pure race. They won seats on the ancient executive and so they sat in the office in Bexley. It was not long before the truth was to surface. The pure bore witness to many a session around the red bottle. The ancient laws had been broken by the tainted ones.

The awards built to protect the members had long been destroyed. All the free airline tickets had been used and the wine that was to sit in the cabinet was now being shared by too many. There was squabbling. In the commotion the label fell off the bottle and landed in the hands of the pure. The leaders had noticed the label was missing, they knew it was the key to their secrets and the members could not find out.
They murdered the one from the South with the label, but it could not be found. Before his death he had copied it and gave it to his brothers. Now the brothers waited, for they knew their time would come, there was rumour of the label in the great Northern regions but the members were told it was just misinformation. They were told to ignore the myth and only obey official commands from the Bexley office or fat men with large tool belts.

The doors at Bexley were locked. A secret passage from times long past was opened. It led to an aircraft Hangar at Mascot. The passage was filled with snakes and only those who also created the venom allowed passage. An inner sanctum was created and those with immunity could reach the Bexley premises to share the wine.

The Northern members not in the sanctum began to dry out, the great myth from the South was growing credibility and spread quickly among the Northern members. The Northern camp became divided, half loyal to the incumbents and the heritage they protected, the other loyal to themselves and their right to participate in their own affairs without infection from the wine that had become so bitter and addictive.

The freed souls met with the Southern cousins who gave them copies of the label from the bottle. The truth was known and the myth was now a fully verified fact. The office was stormed; the bottle was seized and destroyed in a ceremony called the dawn of our time. The old guard and those loyal to it lived for many years, for they knew they had sinned and judgment day would greet when their days expired.

On the new day the work commenced. The awards were restored. The members had meetings. The EBAs were negotiated by those capable of the task. The finances were brought onto order and a new bottle of pure water was placed in the ancient cabinet. It had a new label affixed and it read – “This bottle will refill itself from members funds and shall be freely available to all members who respect and stand by their brothers. Arrogant airline managers who attempt to drink from this bottle shall have their contracts terminated.”

And it was over.

[Turbo 5B]

Any one know what Qf's reaction has been to the change of political parties in Bexley?
I heard that an ex IR manager now at domestics SYD has gone pretty quiet.
By the way, Congratulations to all the elected candidates. May you serve the members honestly and with integrity.

[BHMvictim]

What a damn fine strategy. It's a shame that no one has thought of that before.

They did!! However the current ALAEA exec (RIP) considered themselves above the rest of us mere AME scum, and would never consider working with our unions.

Hope this all changes!:ok:

(Note I said "working with" and not "being taken over by" our unions, as some current ALAEA exec (RIP) were scaremongering about the place).

[Turbo 5B]

Any union with half a brain would work with other unions.

[socks]

I suppose this means that BD won't be back now.

[Brake Boy]

As the dust settles and we prepare for the coming of the new executive, what have we heard of our executive members, former and to be?

Rumour has it the Mick O has been 'well looked after by QANTAS'. I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe someone can elaborate.

BB

[soldier of fortune]

yes -my friends in bne line have told me the same thing-:sad:

[Redstone]

So tell us, how well has he been "looked after"?

[Bumpfoh]

A fine result and well done to the Members First Team.:ok: :D

At last the rank and file will have a chance to be heard and not just given lip service as has happened in the past, especially during EBA negotioations.:ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

And perhaps an end to the drivel that is posted by the likes of Mr Q, Crystal Marina and company! :yuk:

[The Mr Fixit]

Well dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians :)

Could you have predicted that outcome ? :E

Whipped like a red headed step child :{

Enough said :ok:

[sonhouse]

Let us all hope the new broom is what they profess to be.
The members first has offered a totally new approach when it comes to the leadership of the Association.
Members will become extremely dissappointed if all they witness is blame of the previous administration and change is not evident.
The platform of the members first drive is business will not be carried out as done by the previous administration.
The members first Exectutive take over on 01July and a certain period of transition needs to be allowed for the new incumbents, this period should not be endless and blame on the previous should not be an excuse for no change.
New Federal Executive you now have the yoke we will be watching how you Pilot this sucker and as always the new Pilot will be scrutinised more than the previous.
Good luck and God Speed.
