QF LAME EBA8: the deathly silence.
Everyone's been awfully quiet about the QF LAME EBA8 negotiations. Am I looking in the wrong place?
The latest I've heard is that the company & union have sorted all outstanding issues except the 5%, and the company have told the union that they'll only get 3% with no sweeteners because of the US Govt fine (and a possible EU one) for the Freight cartel, the share price falling, increased competition (Tiger, V Australia), the profit outlook for '09 etc etc ad nauseum - the usual QF 'Oh woe is us bad times ahead' spiel. Anyone heard anything???
The closer we get to 1 Feb without any info, the worse it looks. QF delaying tactics?
One ray of hope is that on 1 Feb all State & Fed industrial minister meet for the first time in 18 months: killing WorkChoices is on the agenda. I cant see it dead and buried till July though...

Just sitting back and not feeding Q with any ammo to fire at us.
Awaiting the order to charge if need be. No doubt there will be
notices coming out this week?
PS The silence will be killing then!
Sshhhhhh.........

Come 1st Feb, make sure your mortgage is paid up.....
There's a storm a brewing....
Most danger is when there is no feedback.
do I hear walk out / lock out?
what say you, fedsec????

I suggest Mr Knuckle dragger that you are a fear and uncertanty merchant, most probably a company stooge or management. You will not be collecting any information to report back from these forums.

Watch for any new notices boys and girls.

so far everyone is cool, super cool, so cool they could be fonzy.just go on about your normal day as usual and forget the posts from fud (fear,uncertainty and doubt) merchants.negotiations are still happening and with any sense this could all be resolved before the first.await the order for over the top if its not.
