Another cunning plan.

Qantas engineers pledge whacky, wrong-handed strike action

:evil::evil:

Stupidest. Strike. Ever. :evil::evil:

 

[Blackadder]

Bizzare comes to mind. :shock:

This. All it does is making the union a laughing stock in the eyes of the public.

 

[medhead]

They can't be accused of disrupting the public. Imagine the bleatings if they did that! Damned if you do damned if you don't.

Well after hearing this on the rumour file this morning I am appalled at the union..

At their 1 min stopwork on Friday in Melbourne they played the last post. To me this shows utter dis-respect to all soldiers who have lost their lives. The last post is sacred and should never be used in any disputes.

It was confirmed on the news a bit later on..

 

[docjames]

If the left handed screw driver lunacy wasnt enough, a new low. Disgusting is the only word I can think of right now.

Last Post broadcast at Qantas strike a 'new low'


I'm not sure what they think they'll achieve, but any public support for the engineers must surely be falling away.

Agree entirely with the above comments, would be nice to see one of the union lackey's get a grilling over this atrocious lack of judgment on Lateline etc
And as for the left-handed strike, I honestly thought this was a joke when I first read it. It is unlikely to engender any public sympathy :evil:

 

[gumpy]

I'm quite shocked they played that song. Very poor judgement... good luck with gaining public sympathy for their cause..

 

[nlagalle]

I noticed the union is claiming none of their members heard it and it must have happened elsewhere..

With the proliferation of smart phones, hopefully it's on YouTube shortly to incriminate the guilty.
