Support for Qantas Staff
I’m just throwing my support behind the TWU guys and their fight for better pay and conditions.
[COLOR=#000063][FONT=Verdana] BETTER! PLUS those who criticise the timing, well, if you want maximum impact..... |

TBM- sorry about your holiday plans but buyer beware. It's not as if Industrial action has not been widely flagged.

Think the weather is more of an issue right now, rather than legal industrial action. By the way; 'aviation expert' geoffrey thomas thinks Qantas staff are going for 'undeliverable' conditions. This amazing gentleman is now an 'economic commentator' as well. No doubt he has direct access to Qantas financial figures etc. What a legend! :mad:

My holiday plans have gone off without a hitch thanks to VA. :ok: Makes you wonder does it not? |
you selfish bozos have just disrupted my family travel today including a small boy's dream vacation. Actually, I am not involved in this particular action, but at least I can look past my own self interest. |

Surely you intended to post in the TWU baggage handlers forum. Off you go then. |
if this is a "pilot's forum" why is it full of engineer, F/A and other rants...
This is caveman stuff methinks... |
Support for Qantas Staff Which is it Trent? or is one group more important than the next? you pilots could, ofcourse, throw your own bags. (I'd like to see that):rolleyes: |
The troglodytes taking industrial action against Qantas, be is legal or otherwise, are hastening the end of their employment. Nothing, repeat nothing, can justify inflicting hurt, harm etc on an employer's customers. Once bitten twice shy is the attitude of many punters - they have long memories and also know that Qantas staff are some of the better paid members of Australian society and enjoy conditions that many workers would die for.
It's high time that the TWU, ALAEA and AIPA (an unholy alliance if ever there was one) woke up and realised just how fortunate is the collective membership. (My kevlar vest and full face helmet are on!). |
Arnold, I wish you all the best with your PIA.
My union and your union are quite different. I really don't care much for the TWU as you would no doubt ignore the AIPA. My union has so far made a concious decision to not carry out any actions that will delay Qantas customers. As for slinging my own bags, rarely ever check in a hold stow bag nowadays. Had it lost too many times in the past. However if I did then that's what you get paid to do. I'm not better, just different. and for Ken B, you don't need kevlar, and a full face helmet won't cover the d!ck on you head. edit I would like to add that I do have respect for the Bag Snatchers, the Cabin Cleaners, the Check-In staff and especially the Engineers, everyone except for the Drongo Management fools who it seems are hell bent on destroying Qantas. I just think that we are seperate groups, no better or no worse than each other, and we are certainly not an 'Unholy Alliance' as Ken halfwit B says. There is no alliance that I know of, rather that Qantas Mismanagement have abused the Fair Work act and delayed and lied until all the groups contracts ran out and have been forced into PIA to secure our jobs. It's an Airline, it's QANTAS, it's more than just a brand. |

Pilots, cabin crew(I think), engineers, baggage handlers and ground staff all taking recent industrial action (or at least agreeing to it).
Something tells me the employees/unions aren't the problem. |

TBM - a troll of just a eediot looking for a reaction?
TBM , why are you even on this forum if you have so much hostility to this topic? your little TBM mentality is irrelevant and grossly insignificant in anything but a GA forum - get with the program dude, who cares about your sprog when infinitely larger and more important issues are at hand than your convienience and comfort......go to a site like woolworths.com/floorlickers/staffgrumbles etc if you want to type something on your $2 laptop, please enhance this forum by being a SILENT READER.
