Mam Cabin Crew Strike On The 25th Dec
To All Mamers Out There ! What Do U All Think Of The Idea Of Going On Strike For 1 Day Only On The 25th Dec At All Bases ?
Qf Wouldnt Be Able To Operate And That Would Send A Very Strong Message To The Company About Their Current Employment Conditions.
Any Volunteers ?

You'll just piss off the band moles and FAAA and their EBA is coming up - look at the workforce FWA has already created.
There are better ways to get the point across that this casual life can't be sustained.
We need full time support if we are going to improve our conditions.

Whatever you do I'd wait until after the election and hopefully Howard and his IR laws will be assigned to history.
Although what Patty Stacker say's is true and that you are a casual workforce the threat of removing your labour would be a significant threat to QF.
They could not operate without the MAM workforce and if you as a majority consider your conditions to be that bad could use it as a threat at the very least.
The main problem you will have is that most female F/A's will not strike or even entertain the thought.

and i would
seriously suggest you DO NOT canvass an option like a strike on this forum. if it gets nasty they can find your ip address and go for it. you get my drift. 
LL is right most females dont like the idea of industrial actions, so i suggest you hand out a shopping voucher valid for that particular day only

Why?
Why take the job in the first place?
You knew what the Tand Cs were and now you complain.
There plenty of other airlines recruiting at present with better Tand Cs.
Give them a go ...you've got the experience.

interesting responses to this thread.....mr butter boy or girl why? indeed would a young ozzie leave the country for better terms n condts.? other posts here were casuals new to the gig( no pun intended) understood and accepted their t & c,s wrong, many of these new guys did not.....maybe we should call you mr bend over, do you accept anything in your job with nil contest!........the support of full time employees will help the casual work force to help sustain t & cs for the full time work force .again ,not to sure about the union that was another story! cheers gigs

Devils Advocate here.......
It's good to see you guys are starting to unite more, the "every man for himself" mentality has not been helping.
A casual workforce striking in the current climate is probably not a good idea. Having said that, if contract B's were to make themselves NON AV and contract C's were to fall under the weather (of course documented by a med cert), then it would certainly have some impact. Although, I doubt it would change the T & C's much.
One other thing, if the company found out about this in advance (and they almost always do), then the rest of us would be drafted and that is certainly not going to get the majority of full-timers on side.
It's upto you to work out what best suits you, but remember there are always consequences, beit positive or negative.
