I will not party till the fat lady sings (and she puts it in writing).
Been there, done that before, only to be screwed again.
Awaiting a notice before any good will escape me.

Let's see what is in the agreement..... don't bend over guys, there needs to be something for everyone. Not just a few.

lifting bans
Big big big call to lift O/T PIA without members hearing basics of the deal
It will want to be one hell of an offer as there,s no going back if we start o/t again
I,m surprised Fed Sec post wasn,t also sent out as notice
I think so little of these Mgr Ir/hr dogs my first thought was have they hacked Pprune
If the executive have pulled this off they have my genuine Thanks

EBA8 Agreement
Would like to know a little bit of detail before I get too excited. Remember the 'Heads of Agreement' that was touted around the network, but was resoundingly shouted down.
Not doubting the sincerity of the Fed Sec's post, but would like some details.
Thanks for all your time (your own time mostly) negotiating on our behalf.

GD, DC, MH and the rest of the Borg, you better play fair now, Long haul guys, us, and the other upcoming protagonists in this sorry 3% mantra chanting saga will be watching your every move during the finalisation of these agreements.
You burnt a lot of bridges and have ripped a lot of good will out of your workforce. I for one am not interested in listening to any of your management assimilation speak at all.
Get that damned PPM fixed up for a start, spend some money on those facilities, tools and equipment that's been on hold for years. Stop the fear mongering and bullsh1t. Investment in Engineering is more than just building a big shed or placing a cherry picker somewhere. Actually finish some of the myriad of projects that you've started. Stop applying bandaids to bandaids and actually fix the underlying problems. Appreciate your staff and treat them as an asset and not a hindrance. If you can I might consider becoming a model employee again.
I'm going to buy a Lotto ticket now as I think it has a better chance than management coming through with the goods.

Maintain The Rage
To the people in Cairns with morals,let the boys who have been soaking up the overtime keep doing it.You know who you are Siera Charlie Alpha Bravos. Especially the two Dmm's that are getting fattened up for the cull.
Most people have stayed strong and we salute you.
It has been a long battle and the soft have been exposed (even one of the union reps cracked).
Its not over yet the union have done a great job but lets wait and see what is in the agreement and the company's announcement before we relax.
Just refect on everything the company has said and done,i doubt many people will be willing to forgive and forget just yet.(except the company suckholes)

Reciprocal respect
I'm with the minority and won't get too excited until the detail is revealed.
I will await to see reciprocal respect and the immediate lifting of leave restrictions for our members.
Let's see how long this takes?????
I just couldn't sit down too quickly after being hammered by these hypocrites for so long....far too sore
Take a few days rest SP and team. You have earnt your wages three-fold.

I take it the company has issued a notice to have all outstanding leave re-instated. If not I will obviously still need all of my days off for fatigue management reasons.

Further to the above would I be correct in assuming that any one who receives Z days is already working a reasonable amount of overtime. Even if it is not paid for at the appropriate penalty rates.

Curious this agreement in principle has come out a few days before Dixon makes an announcement regarding the future of QF.
I think the Fed Sec has blinked first. He may have saved some jobs and avoided outsourcing but I would be very suprised if he has managed an extra 5% in the pay packets of the ginger beers.

Just one question, where is the official union notice announcing an end to the PIA.
As not every engineer reads the Prune, how do we know that it is all legitimate. Call me sceptical but until I see an official notice I think I will play it safe. The Prune notice reproduced by Concerned LAME states the time as 0913 this morning, surely that is enough time to issue a notice, even if the guts of it isn't announced until Monday.
