Qantas Sydney Redundancies Called Off... What about Avalon??
 
All seems to have gone quiet now that Sydney is safe. What about our brothers at Avalon? Not even an information meeting from any union.

ALAEA is taking Forstaff to FWA on an unfair dismissal basis for those who have been outed.

The solution that worked for Syd would not work at Avalon because Qantas are not feeding any work post a forced leave program.

Unless they cancelled there membership when made CR as it was unlikely they would ever work in the industry again which they did well before the UFD notice came out so does that not mean they are not represented in the FWA case at all ?

ALAEA Fed Sec 3rd Apr 2013 19:46

If a member of ours is made redundant they no longer pay fees. The fees they did pay covers the period that they were employed and anything adverse that happened to them during that period including being made redundant.

I've insructed Brad to contact all of our members who were tapped by Forstaff so we can at least try to get their jobs back. I signed a cost agreement yesterday with our law firm and we will be spending at least $20,000 on it plus supplying our own supporting solicitor.

Thanks for sorting that out as quite a few had been told that was not the case .

Info Meeting for Avalon
 
When are information/progress meetings about FWA, LOFO ect planned for Avalon?

ALAEA Fed Sec 4th Apr 2013 10:29

I'm not sure if any new information could be presented at meetings. I think you guys want a meeting though. I will email Brad Stewart and get him to plan some.

Jethro Gibbs 14th Apr 2013 09:48

Doesn't seem to be any progress on any of the above issues .

ALAEA Fed Sec 14th Apr 2013 11:20

Maybe you should have attended the meeting.

BrissySparkyCoit 16th Apr 2013 01:55

Meetings are for members only, how could he attend?

Avalon CR,

After a lavish Qantas dinner in Sydney Last night for all the sycophants , hangers on and paid ambassadors people given CR at Avalon in what has to be the final insult have received a letter from Qantas thanking them for there hard work and telling them what a hard decision it has been to make them redundant.

After a lavish Qantas dinner in Sydney Last night for all the ....
Sad but true. Whilst some throw money around on lavish parties and overdone hype, other people's lives are being destroyed in misdirected penny pinching.

Seems like a company completely insensitive to the families involved whilst publicly and carelessly throwing money around entertaining those that they consider important enough.

Maybe they could have at least invited some of those who are now redundant, if they had enough nerve to that is.

The Qantas hangar party last week was not for sycophants, it was a cold hard lobbying exercise by the company. The guest list contained at least the policy chief for Tony Abbot, the head of an indigenous NGO and numerous other movers and shakers on both sides of politics. Would we also be right in thinking that a certain union leader would have been attending on the arm of the beautiful Olivia?

It should be understood that these are Qantas real "customer base" - not the poor schmuck general public that the company has been screwing over for years as well as its own employees.

If anyone can get and publish the guest list I think it would be an eye opener.

Tony Abbott has been forced to demote his director of policy, Mark Roberts

............................

A Tony Abbott staffer told an eminent Australian that he would 'cut his throat' once 'we' are in government … Much, much more to it …'' he tweeted.

Mr Van Onselen later claimed that an ''intoxicated'' Dr Roberts had approached himself and Andrew Penfold, head of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation, at a Qantas-Emirates function in Sydney. Mr Van Onselen claimed that during the ensuing conversation, the adviser had been ''deliberately unpleasant'' and was heard telling Mr Penfold that his organisation's public funding would have its ''throat'' cut under an Abbott Coalition government.

The journalist also claimed others witnessed Dr Roberts' use of a threatening physical gesture representing a throat being cut during the exchange.

It could be that this is an example of the thread's core topic.
Who cares? I do!

Final exits will occur 29 and 30 April 2013, except for 3 people on leave.
These CRs will be actioned when they return from leave. There will be no
CRs until 29 and 30 April 2013.
This is what Forstaff stated So much for that Hearing reports that these CR,s have happened today .

Bagus 22nd Apr 2013 09:08

Alaea can do nothing now.
