Evening boys...

Ignore eh?

More likely stewing away.

Ever put on a brave face only to lie awake at night wondering what will really happen?

I don't.

If you all do what you say, I should get one of your SLAME jobs!

As you say, BRING IT ON.

I might even run as an ALAEA Rep - yeh that would be good. Go around bullying people, working on the job occassionally, meeting the big wigs, pretend to know what I'm doing, call the ACTU up for help, perhaps hire an ex AIRC commisioner.

Might even plan my political career, follow the "greats" of the union movement into parliament.

Sleep well.

I know a cert IV trainer in mel has been stood down for refusing to do training. Way to go QE management. PIA all the way
Fed Sec....What's the deal ?
Nobody has been stood down guys. A few people called our office today asking why we hadn't done anything for the "stood down" member. I asked them, have you seen him at work and they said yes. I then asked them how could he be stood down if he is here. They realised that somebody was spreading dribble.

The member has been threatened by management that he would be docked pay for not teaching driver training to LAMEs. He has not been docked yet but that is most likely because payday is next week.

The ALAEA have written to qf and highlighted that the threat would put them in breach of his employment contract if they carried it out. Saying this highlights our intention to take them to the AIRC if they do dock his wage.

This is where it currently sits.

Just when I thought all the trolls had disappeared, along comes Trustee.

Of course BHM was never meant to get the A330's..... they lie to your face over and over. Just as they covered up their intentions to shut down Sydney heavy. This company is rotting from the top down. It's very sad to see.

Dixon can offshore heavy if he wants to, engineers really dont care anymore. They have been worn down over the last 5-7 years. Mission accomplished Dixon, you decripid senile old scumbag. You will go down in history as the a$$hole that tore the heart out of Qantas.

2 months of MAS/QF A checks
2 months of tick & flick checks

there goes the reliability down the drain even further!

Cool domo

but he may be a fully paid up member(TROLL or not) and is entitled to his opinion. Mate their is 1700 of us you think we all feel the same,
this is the task of the union to keep us all pulling in the same direction.
we start calling others names and our unity is broken and we are done.
Think 300 spartans and just do your bit,be brave and look after the bloke next to you.

Agree totally, a fair and valid point regarding trustees entitlement to opinion, and I'll assume he/she is a paid up member.

However it is the tone and content of the posts with the "pot stirring" connotations which detract form the points he/she tries to make.

So I stand by my and others assessment until proven otherwise.

Stand-by, Geoff Dixon is being interviewed on the John Faine program (774 ABC) in the next half hour on this very topic.

QF LAME's STAND UNITED

Qantas Management still don't understand that we are not motivated to PIA only by their pathetic pay offer. It's about
- Destruction of Qantas Engineering
- Death of a Career Path
- Safety for QF Passengers
- Lack of Training
- Equality for all in the EBA
- Recognition of Skills and Ability
- A more Equal Share of Financial Success of Qantas
- Exposing the corrupt, inept practices of QE Management

DC, MH and KB get your head out of the trough, look around and see what the issues are. You will be known as the Mugabe Management, You have no right using Qantas' Balance sheet as your personal piggy bank.

Fed Sec. Could you fax PIOT's post directly to GD, DC, and MH. Let these pr*#ks know that indeed, it is not just about the money. At the end of the day, who gives a fcuk about a measly 1-2 grand extra per year. I want to see the backs of the people that have ruined our job/livelihood.

Yes-excellent stuff PIOTBORD
EQUALITY is what we want!!
1% super increse for everyone-We dont need all the jargon about accumulation funds etc etc.
If it cant go into the fund we have now(which i somewhat doubt) THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE-PUT IN INTO ANOTHER FUND FOR US.
We are all sick of the excuses=-THEY SAID 1% INCREASE FOR EVERYONE!!
TIME TO DO IT.

Attn QF Management

Is that simple enough?

A Strong Result Again

1200 votes counted so far. So that means that its a valid vote (more than 50% return). Of that 1200, 81% have said Yes.

Its about all of us.

Yes-thats it!!,Very simple to understand 1 would have thought.
No-one is asking for an outrageous wage rise,No-one is asking for a massive bonus and No-one (as the 81% yes vote shows)is willing to be lied to or taken no notice of any more.GIVE US SOMETHING FAIR FOR EVRYONE.
A 1% super rise for everyone is FAIR,3% wage rise is probably bordering on fair and doing something positive with the quotas/levels is probably FAIR.
We keep hearing we have such good management.Well, for me(and ultimately them) the challenge is now for them to show just how good they are and present a FAIR DEAL FOR ALL.IS IT SOOOO F...ING HARD TO DO THAT????

Official Ballot results out tommorrow,and to be announced by the AEC,according to the FedSec.

The PIA ballot has been counted and the Australian Electoral Commission advise that the results will be officially declared tomorrow. Even if I did know the result I am not permitted to make any announcements prior to the declaration by the AEC. Should a successful result be declared, I will be writing to Qantas tomorrow advising them that action will commence from 0001 hour on Thursday the 13th of May 2008. My apologies to those members who are eagerly awaiting news, particularly those who have heard one of the many rumours circulating.

Cheers
Steve Purvinas
Fed Sec

5%- That's the deal!

In response to the last two or three posts......

Please take the opportunity to familiarise yourself with what the ALAEA are demanding. 5%. Let me repeat. 5%. Just in case you missed it. 5%. The number that comes just after 4. That's right! FIVE PERCENT! The number two less than seven. 5%. The exec have now received yet another overwhelming mandate. 5%. The vast majority are not going to tolerate anything less. No sugar coated 3++++ to save the morally bankrupt faces. No favours now! No favours ever again!

This last message is for the exec. You have been given livelihoods and some souls. Most would take no less than five, regardless of bolt ons, or take their bat and ball and go home! Disgusted with the whole affair! The members are begging for scraps and still their faces are pushed to the ground. The difference between war and a deal is less than half of GD's annual package. Less than half of one mans worth per year to send 1500 people and a great Aussie Icon to the wall. GD, hope your comfortable with that, and that its worth it. Most believe you are not.


ONE LAST TIME! 5% or BUST!

P.S. A quick note to nature's own bandaids. Oxygen is getting in. Time to congeal. Once on the surface, there is no return. Like having two shadows. Yours and your deeds!
