Oh the poor unions lol.

Look, if the engineers, pilots and twu want to manage the
company themselves and pay themselves whatever they want,
they can simply buy it and do as they please.

Based on the Qantas market cap and number of employees,
that would work out to a bit over 100 thousand per employee,
well within the capacity of their super fund savings.

Go on, you poor downtrodden unions, show us how to run
an airline, I challenge you!

Unions have lost this fight.
Went too far,lead by the foolish.
Opposed by fools too.
No one side produced a clean fight.
It is over now.
But knowing and understanding dispute resolution is about both sides.
Who would want the task of sitting opposite yabby to resolve an issue.
We watched this fight in a mirror.
One of those funny ones in an amusement park.
Unions came in painted as bad buggers in black hats.
Actually may live just up the road from you.
But we know they are nasty buggers all of them.
Yabby told us.
OH by the way! those QUANTAS planes,the ones nearly fell out of the sky?
any reason to ask why?
NAH nothing wrong here folks move on.

Belly, ask yourself why an airline might choose to offshore maintenance. more, ask yourself why corners may have been cut. Here's a clue: check the balance sheet and check the pay rates of the employees. Ask yourself which of the cost factors would be the hardest to reduce, given the aggressively militant union environment that Qantas oerates in.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Squeers has put a view about unions in another thread to me.
It had always been My intention to talk about unions are they are today.
As I think they will be.
And yes as I think they MUST BE.
Last first, cut ties with the ALP, no male cow dung! Labor cuts its ties with us, we infect Labor[ WHO WE NEED IN POWER] by installing both Gems, no problem there and rubbish from our movement.
We make no difference to our members voting intentions, by failing to tell the party the truth.
We do see would be members not come on board.
I am sick, Australian Workers are sick, of power generated by unions being used to let one person use the power of many to do things like dump Rudd but prop up this failure we put in his place.
Future unions must fix membership fees cut over heads have less unions less Branch's more service.
Using union funds to prop up Labor?
I donated every year much more but we must sell our product,union members interests to the highest bidder,we, daily get in to disputes surely within Conservatives we can find some one, not the bike riding dill, who will listen.
Politics/religion/unionism, should at times march together but bed down?
No.
