Like "profits versus wages" in the Qantas case.
Lexi,
you'll find that realistically interpreted this translates into saving an iconic australian company & thousands of jobs from selfish, inconsiderate union leaders. They don't miss out but the workers who sustain them do. Ansett hasn't woken them up & that's saying something. If only the Public Service were on similar limited funding I'd put Australia back on track.

Dear Individual,

Actually you need to get your facts straight.

This might help:

The Qantas fiasco was part of a premeditated well thought out plan/strategy of which Mr Joyce
was fully aware in advance and for which he received over $2 million
and then some. You really need to do more Googling.

You all despise these corporate thugs and their business dealings, yet you whine and want to work for them? Why don't people that hate these guys so much just leave their jobs for a company that they feel will treat them better?

It's obvious they don't give a rats about you, so why do you care? Why try to keep them in business. Surely after all this time you can see that your tactics are not working and never will. You are free to start your own business and run it how you think it should be done, you can even band together and pool your ethics, morals and money to make a truly great company.

I guess it's easier to let someone else risk their necks and you just whine till government and the unions put a gun to the bosses head and demand the easy pickings for you.

its no use explaining that the geeks..
not the greeks are the problem

look at the raw numbers
to pay off a huge debt..[at 4% intrest]
with a much larger debt..[at 26 % intrest]
is insane..[small wonder bankers will 'take half the debt
cause the bottum line means..in 4 years it will be back at 200 billion

ie kick the can down the road
in 4 years following this ODIOUS ..lol bailout'
the same debt will again be at the level it is today

but the debt DOUBLES compounding..every 4 years
[and by then the others debt will have increased..because the bankers got that 'other bailout'..

[equal the origonal debt they agree to temporilly forgo]..

so the most clever geeks in the room
not only got half the debt back[next year]

it trippled the intrest burdon
so the halved debt...increases bigger than half the debt
in less than 4 years

if you could only read the numbers
sort the spin..from the division

lefties isnt the problem
its clever guys causing odious debt
then rushing their quuick fix through
collecting cash..getting their bonus..and having a bigger fish next time

wake up you mugs
the same mob has ALLREADY put our debt up to over 100 billion..!

[add in that 10 billion juliar has gifted to imf
your allready dead walking...serving the corperate state debt]

Lexi,
You'd rather take the word of a journalist who is clearly not from a business background rather than the word of the CEO who stopped millions of dollars in losses & thousands of jobs. Yes big business is there to make money, money that keeps many employed. Qantas is not like the Labor Govt or the Unions which can afford to blow peoples' money with the only penalty that they get voted out but keep all their money. A company doesn't have that luxury anymore. Qantas understands providing a service, the unions don't. The other fact to consider is that unions always back a Labor Govt no matter how incompetent but never a conservative one no matter how competent.
I suggest you google common sense.

individual,

"Qantas is not like the Labor Govt or the Unions which can afford to blow other peoples' money...."
