Yep, AIPA, take her on on this, she is out of line and must be held to account..
Pay rises: the new unlevel playing field

Qantas engineers called off a planned strike for this afternoon across Australia, but other strikes by ground staff over the past few weeks have affected the airline's schedules and thousands of its passengers.

Another strike by customs officers is planned for this Thursday, following the Community and Public Sector Union's rejection of the federal government's offer of a 9 per cent pay rise over three years.
Michael Rafferty, a senior research fellow at the University of Sydney's Workplace Research Centre, said the disputes could signal a growing gap in the expectations of employers and their staff.
"The [Qantas staff] claim is only about 5 per cent and if you allow for some negotiations, that probably brings them to an outcome of 4 to 4.5 per cent - which is the cost of living," said Dr Rafferty.
"And yet that is being quite strenuously resisted by the employers.
"[The] issue is that the employers are saying that we are going to privilege the profit not just at the expense of wage rises but even the cost of living, and that could be quite a significant change in the industrial relations landscape if that's the case."

Qantas engineers cancel today's planned strike but flight disruptions continue | News.com.au

Read the comments here! Bloody hell Australians are thick sometimes.

Also significant was the growing political rhetoric around individual workplace agreements from former Liberal Party politicians Peter Reith and Peter Costello, who have called on federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott to support workplace reform, Dr Rafferty said.

Will workchoices make a comeback???

Sandilands' take on this is cruel, but funny.

Olivia, when did the Qantas pilots take strike action during this industrial campaign? You lying ............!

"Unfortunately, the engineers have decided to cancel their strike action."
Another Olivia special.:ugh: Anyone with a link or copy of the press conference today?

To get rid of Joyce and Clifford (who, BTW is the real problem, and I speak from first-hand experience).

Buy shares and use their voting power.

Imagine if each employee bought on average 50k of QAN and all voted as a block? That's a sizeable chunk of influence where it counts.

Oh man. I've always been convinced that I'm going to hell when I die for various indiscretions committed when I was young, single and naive.

Now it appears I'll meet Olivia there. Though she'll be there for completely different reasons.

In this clip OW claims she didn't know anything about the action being called off... sure...

Olivia's Feeling the Pressure
 
During one of her dissertations OW paused drew a breathe and gulped.
A student of body language will tell you that she is unsure,nervous and feeling the pressure.
The pronouncement about not knowing the strike was called off is a gaff of laughable proportions.
Another incompetent recalcitrant from the management moron menagerie.
Where do they find these people?
She should be given a job picking the fly ****t out of black pepper

ejectx3 10th Oct 2011 12:17

Wait.....there's fly crap in black pepper now?

Going Nowhere 10th Oct 2011 12:29

Didn't OW have a cry about finding out about the cancellation via a "Noooooz Release" ?

How else would you f$*%&ing find out? Sky writing? :ugh:

TIMA9X 10th Oct 2011 12:36


by Going Nowhere, How else would you f$*%&ing find out? Sky writing?
LOL classic and spot on..:ok:

Angle of Attack 10th Oct 2011 20:28

Now talking about another 4 hour on friday, I will hazard a guess if Qantas does a reschedule they will call off again, the only one they won't is when Qantas calls their bluff and doesnt do any re scheduling, Qantas can't win either way!

Captain Gidday 10th Oct 2011 20:38


How else would you f$*%&ing find out? Sky writing?
Now, now. Can't have any sky writing. That would be collusion between the unions. :*

Dash1 10th Oct 2011 21:21

Is sky writing an approved method of industrial action notification to an employer? If not maybe the unions can seek an amendment to the FWA act. Love to be the Centre controller to give that clearance. Although that might be reported as collusion.

Captain Gidday 11th Oct 2011 00:00

Nah. But the controller would be pinged for participating in a secondary boycott, probably.

Ski Guru 11th Oct 2011 00:24

ejectx3, classic.

Groaner 11th Oct 2011 02:37

Typo? How about "collision"?
