And I believe Livvy was there in the audience.
Sorry but I just don't trust him.
Pity the poor blokes he represents.
The ALAEA executive was corrupt to the core about ten years ago. I'm just glad we've now got Steve and the rest working for us now. He's a but of a loose cannon sometimes but I do trust his integrity.

Texas Tony and Railway Dave were in ADL today sprouting goodness and light. Lets work together and share the work so we can all move forward and build a better company etc etc.
Oh yeah we will be shortly completely shafting SAMS, the 2 SYD terminals and probably MEL followed by BNE but its all for your own good.

What are you on about. Having to work your notice period. Do you know what a notice period is?
Company said they will give the blokes extra if they don't take "x" number of sickies. Looks like they've decided to take sickies. What do you expect a union to do about it?

Usually a company needs staff to work a notice period. Pretty sure they worked Mel and Syd HM when they closed. Are you expecting Forstaff to pay you when you are not working?
What's bonus got to do with Sick leave? I would usually say nothing but I think the past bonuses that have been paid to Forstaff employees have an element of burnt leave used within the calculations.
If the whole thing is making you feel sick. Go see a doctor.

You're part of the problem Bagus, assuming that attitude extends to your workplace.
As SP points out, a notice period is exactly that, the period of notice you are required to give (in either direction) before ceasing work. It MAY be paid out at the discretion of the company but that is not a certainty.

It's Friday afternoon, management's favourite time of the week to make big announcements.
Is the "Process Review" ready to come out of the 189 vault?
Are they going to start dishing out the redundancies yet or is it just going to be another shuffle of managers?

Easy Tiges.
Half yearly results are still 3 weeks away. That'll be when they announce "the measures we must take to return our business to profitability", or shortly thereafter "in response to our poor half yearly results and after a comprehensive strategic review" will be the justification for the cull.
And that will be for starters.
Over the last few years we've all had time to consider Life After Qantas. The time we knew would approach is almost upon us.
Bring it.
Line up for your pineapples fellas. Rough end first of course...
