acslame,
Ask them if they'll get the guy who did the A380 interior to design you a shirt. The chinese version will look good after that.

Totally agree
This is the part now Steve where you announce the stop work meetings for Thursday and Friday. If they present an offer worth looking at, pull the stoppies.
Stoppages for Thursday 3rd July are .....unless an offer worthy of membership review is offered.

What do most LAMEs expect to do once the EBA's signed? Assuming you succeed with the 5% and get the conditions you ask for, what will the attitude be? I don't expect anyone to trust the company for a long time - it seems to me that many QF staff have no trust in any level of management - but will management be given the support they need to do their job? Again, I'm not suggesting the management will do the right thing, but if they aren't given room to move by the people on the floor then it's certain they can't.
It's my guess (and perhaps I'm giving management too much credit for forethought here) that management don't trust the LAMEs to return to work with any goodwill even if they give everything that's being asked of them. If that's true, then what's the motivation to concede to the ALAEA? Not saying that management being convinced that the ALAEA is negotiating in good faith is sufficent for success, just necessary.
What would QF need to offer to secure the LAMEs full co-operation after signing a new EBA? Is 5% enough? Or will a change in management be required too? Is that a realistic demand?

Deferred Meeting?
Am I reading correctly? Has the scheduled meeting between the ALAEA and QF management been deferred from Monday to Wednesday 2 July?
I haven't received anything from the association about this.
What's the excuse this time? The company need more time to get alternative workers and management in place, or are they building up to a massive boo hoo campaign to the public to smear the LAME's more than they already have?

Old Trojan saying
"Beware Greeks bearing gifts"
List of things to do today
1. Keep pressure on management to do more than "just manage'
2. Report all defects no matter how great or small to all required departments
3. Always consult eQ, Read and Signs, Email before starting work.
4. Do not plan ahead, one step at a time and always use the appropriate references
4. Note all defects that are wipe-spread and inform all LAMEs
5. Support each other with soliadrity and acknowledgment

We will settle for
An extra weeks annual leave per year or a 9 day fortnight
An extra level for each LAME
4% per annum or CPI whichever is higher
King Gee clothing
Salary sacrifice super and 1% for all accumulation funds
1% risk managed against Company profit every year from now on
All sparkies to be tarred and feathered (Did I say that out aloud ?)

We were more than happy for meeting to get moved until Wednesday so our full EBA comm could attend. Now is the time to show patience guys. I have already told the press that this week would be free for negotiations, it is up to the company to make the most of that time.

Re: Mech-prentice post #3082
Gday Mech-prentice. I guess I can only speak for myself, but when EBA8 is signed and it delivers a 5% per annum increase to my base wage, Management will get my full cooperation and effort as a result.
