The list of Aviation workers voting for Protection Industrial Action keeps growing
Well, first cab off the rank to vote in favour of protected industrial action is DNATA. Not even a personal visit by none other than Alan Joyce himself could deter these ramp staff from voting in favour for better pay. Read the room Alan.
Today the ballot closes for LAMEs from Qantas, Jetstar and Alliance. I would say there is a better than fair chance that all 3 of these ballots will be yes votes.
The industry needs this. AJ and his cronies are a cancer on Australian aviation, and nothing will hurt him more than a reduction in his bonuses.

The company was refusing to negotiate and now they've come to the table after two weeks of uplifting fuel at outports. They're offering 1 extra RDO per month, CPI within 2-4. Backpay still needs to be negotiated but it's a lot better than what the company originally offered. 20 odd pilots quit last week. Just under 10% of the seniority list.
If safety is the issue that really bothers the TWU how about instead of short notice strikes that alienate the public (and possibly spawn more right wing voters) they work to force capacity caps on airlines and airports until they lift their game? The Poms appear to have done this.
50 or 60% on time performance is simply not acceptable. Cut back service until 90% is assured - of course the unions have to play a part in delivering this, too.
We know money is also an issue, and probably the root issue, but ain’t that the case for most of us now?

That was a rare case, but regardless of the legality of the QF action, that particular work group caused untold damage to the brand over many, many years, even going back to government ownership.
It's a little hard to have sympathy now that the boot is on the other foot. Hate good people losing their jobs but it's not like this was 15 year olds down a mine, it was bordering on a sheltered workshop at times.
No opinion of AD but what if the HC doesn't uphold the lower court's decision?? It works both ways, will the union be saying the HC got it wrong??

We all know what management brings to these meetings,BS,BS & more BS.
100 % agree with AJ & his cronies being a cancer & they all need to be shown up for exactly what they are,a self entitled mob of bullies who think they are above every industrial law & agreement which suddenly doesnt suit them any more.

Qantas Jetstar and Network LAMEs begin their PIA campaign tomorrow with 1 minute stoppages at the beginning of shifts. Knowing Qantas and co it will get nasty.
Would be good if their unions supplied a brief PA that we could make when delayed due to the action.
‘Folks, due to the lack of action by management in helping our friends in the aircraft maintenance department we will be delayed by approx xxx minutes. As pilots we fully support our engineering friends and wish them well in their endeavours of achieving fair and equitable working conditions”

Starting with1 minute strikes to validate commencement of protected action.
"Mark" in the article is 100% spot on. Engineering has been gutted of people, parts and infrastructure. Facilities are from the middle of last century. Compared to "The Street" they're medieval.
