It always good when you find out that there is some truth to a rumor

Employee goodwill were I work is as high as its ever been. We seem to be moving with the times and maybe you could consider doing the same. If you dont have something construtive to say dont waste my time.

Yes I've heard that being buried on the top floor of some upper management office block surrounded by fellow screwers is loaded with goodwill...... good for your own and your own alone!

The latest rumour I have heard is that the engineers are planning to follow the F/A idea, ( which brought Qantas to there knees), and that is as they would call it in the U.S.A. "SICK OUTS".
What better time of the year to take a sickie and spend extra time with the family.
At least they value your time.

Looks like my source was wrong it appears they have gone for O/T bans instead.
Best of luck, just remember the rest of us need our jobs so don't go too far with it, Please !!
I haven't got my 3rd stripe yet.

Socks, I think you have good reasons to feel concerned this looks like escallating into something that is going to hurt a lot of people.
I urge everyone to think seriously of the consequences and management to respect the rights of the employee to choose not to work overtime, for what ever reason he feels.
I remember when I was working, there were some who always refused to work overtime. Are these people being singled out or is there only a few members being accused, obviously a good opportunity for union and management leaders to clean out the wood pile.

Just like everyone to know that Mr Qantas is a loser. Spends more time trying to satisfy his boss then he does his wife. I am forever having to ice his knees and clear his throat of a strange off white sticky substance....LAME(lame) is exactly what he is ...But a manager or a leader he will never be..
Keep up the good work at QF boys and dont underestimate yourselves.....

After this I may well be swimming with the fishes.
After reading all the different sites concerning the supposed O/T bans,I was quite amused to see that some people seem to think that all stations are onboard with this.Well I for one know this is different.
To start with, I have seen with my own eyes,LAMEs from both SIT and Base Maint doing overtime.These guys seem to think that just because the company isn't targeting them in the same way as the domestic brothers,and because they are not directly affected,that they should go about their merry little ways as normal.Generally these boys will be the first to ask LAMEs in other areas to support them when their crunch time comes.
So I will put it on the record that LAMEs in Sydney should forget their domestic/international prejudices and work together on this issue.Blokes have got to remember that there aren't too many ex-TAA/Australian Airlines guys left in Sydney anymore,and ultimately we are all on the same side.If the boys at SDT and at other ports are not doing O/T at the moment,then we should all think about why there is the current situation,and what you can do to support your bretheren.
e.g.The SIT mob have got to stop doing 1,2 and 4 hour o/t stay-ons and call ins.The Base guys have got to stop coming in to work the SDT aircraft on night time call ins and the SDT blokes have got to leave the BBJ/Poly alone if they are called in for O/T.In the short term it means that we guys who are on shift have to carry a heavier load,but in the long run it may pay back some good,equitable dividends for LAMEs.
And for the guy from CNS who stated that O/T was being c/o on or about 14/01/05 at SDT,then if this is true,it is understandable,as there is still a lot of loyal BD supporters amongst them on that particular gang.
So boys hang on tight,don't let the bast@rds wear us down and lets see where we are at come early February, even if the ALAEA exec won't stand by us.Hopefully they will be concentrating on the EBA properly.

QF manager suggests ALAEA will commence OFFICIAL OT restrictions from the 24th. Is this a good move or is there something fishy going on. The company seems to know more than the members.
Reading the WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT regarding protected action, this could lead to lockouts. There is very little info coming from the ALAEA. Apparently they can call an industrial dispute without canvasing the members.
Is this a possible way for them to weed the rebellious. Members don't have much confidence in the ALAEA and the asn's silence is not helping. Making OT official gives them a target. When will the witch hunt stop.
PS the LAME in Melb has been reinstated, a number of other Lame's are attending various inquisitions

The AIRC has ruled for the time being Status Quo.
