I imagine that all the papers & crappy morning TV shows this morning will be fully reporting on the fact that some short arse blow in from the Emerald Isle that has overseen the demise of his company's Internationals' operations & butchered it even further, dropped it's share price to all time lows, failed to pay dividends to shareholders again, publicly slandered his workforce, etc, etc, etc, has had the audacity to take a 71% pay rise.
Come on journalists, we're waiting.

Hi Fedsec
Any chance that we the members can have an update about exactly what we are asking for? There seems to be many that I work with who are unsure of exactly what the ALAEA is fighting for, as the message is getting muddied alongside all the company propaganda. And to ask any reps, they don't seem to getting any updates to motivate the troops.
Are we going to have any roadshows from the leadership soon? The roadshows don't have to be from you, but certainly someone who has the authority to speak on your behalf.

Our claims have never changed. You can find them listed on various notices we have put out but I take your point that the blokes are being confused by the Qantas rubbish.
Meetings will be run in conjunction with longer stoppages that are planned in a few weeks.

Just a thought i'm sure most have had.....
Engineers take action for a day, aircraft don't leave, business suffers.
Pilots take action for a day, aircraft don't leave, business suffers.
Managers, CEO, CFO, board take a day off, aircraft leave on time & serviceable, business booms.
Ironic really!!!

One rule for the Exec ??
Heard that one of the Association Reps in Adelaide recently worked a non-standard shift to help the company out with the no-overtime-on-weekends ban ?
What happened to the work-to-rule decree, doesn't that apply to union reps and roster changes ?
If we're not doing overtime, sort of makes a mockery if a rep does a shift-change to cover low numbers on the weekend ?
Any comments in the truth or otherwise of this FedSec ?

Seems like a baited statement short of facts.
What is the reality and the norm? Was it done to undermine the Ot?
Did it? Did you approve it? Did you take it up at the time? Or
Are you just throwing stones and undermining someone
Who actively fights for your future and job security?

mmm interesting
I heard a little story from someone I know... the weekend work was only done for the purposes to attend the executive. Seems the fight is only just beginning
Could it be that the story is more interesting than reality?
So why has the 71% boost to the CEO's wallet gone quiet, are all the journo's asleep in the Chaiman's Lounge?

That my friend is the news cycle. Outrage for a day or 2 and most move on to the next big thing.
Same reason Aug 24 was brought fwd. To not have the sackings released on the same day as a good profit announcement.
Same reason AJs pay rise was noted a bit later. Qantas people remember and the outrage is there but for most it is just massaged away. Having said that Qantas' rep is kinda tarnished and public opinion is low.

It apparently is also mean't to show the Board's support Mr Joyce's direction for the future and that he is doing a great job as CEO.
Rather amusing spin I thought.

spin...?
Yes, I guess there is some spin there. As for the reputation of Qantas now, they appear to be in troubled times.
Spoke to a passenger I met a few days ago and she stated that Virgin had just stolen 80% of her $5m travel account, as the route/s she needed to use no longer existed.
She clearly spoke that when she got onboard a Qantas flight, the Aussie accent was the best welcome home that she could get... she has now transferred her Platinum FF account to the competitor.

From what I have heard... many employees have been on those for sometime. it has been mentioned to me that it is the same money hungry stooges that continue to all they can.
It has also been noticed by several that those in a certain contractor uniform have done all they can to assist during the weekend... on more than one occassion. Same culprits and they think that they are advancing a career by assisting.

71% - Maintain The Rage
Write this down on every spare piece of real estate on every notice board (anywhere for that matter
). When in times of doubt, it will give you strength and resolve. This will remind you of the hypocrisy, lies, deceit and arrogance you are dealing with.
71% MTR
