Qf Engineers Ready For Industrial Action

[The Mr Fixit]

Only two recorded IA instances that resulted in a walkout were QF LAMEs in SYD over carpark issues and Australian Airlines LAMEs over Tea and Coffee.

The first in the eighties the second in the late seventies

I ask again " Do you have the balls for a long vigorous IA campaign ?"

[The Mr Fixit]

The Deal will be as years gone by, info from notices and feedback meetings I reckon the deal will be as follows

3% per annum
3% increase in quota levels
some payment/increase for DMMs, DTMs, SLIIs and PCT trainers etc
if we're lucky removal of quotas from Level 9 (should have been removed last EBA)
Oh and the special 'Overarching agreement' to keep HM onshore and bring the A330s onshore

in exchange for

HM only
Suite of rosters to be implemented at 14 days consultation
Cross utilization MEL-AVV
RDO and DIL banks

ACS
Part time and casual quotas pushed to 25% of relevant workforce
A380 - 'Special' team separate of mainstream ACS
Fixed term contractors

ALL
Training provisions - single time whilst on training
Home on weekends

So when it is laid out for our exec, would you recommend it to the membership ?

The companys appeal to the AIRC on the 12 hour roster decision failed.

I say we tell 'em we no longer wish to work 12 hour shifts.

That will set the cat amongst the pidgeons......

[Long Bay Mauler]

Bring on the 8 hour.

I could do with a change of pace.
