Dumb Unions

Check out the stupid actions of a union in Australia in imploring people to boycott the company their members rely on for wages:

UNIONS have warned travellers not to buy tickets from Qantas between now and Christmas in a dramatic escalation of a campaign designed to cause maximum disruption to the airline…

“I would think that by October the 28th when the Qantas AGM takes place, you’re likely to see full-day stoppages,” said Steve Purvinas, the federal secretary of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association.

“If I was a person considering travel over the period up until Christmas, I’d probably be looking at airlines other than Qantas,” he said. “If I was a passenger, I wouldn’t be purchasing a ticket with them at this stage.”

So what happens to employees jobs in a few weeks time when the dispute is settled and the employees return to work to low passenger numbers?

About as much foresight as the dipshits at the NZ Maritime Union!

But the unions probably think that the Federal Government will ‘bail out’ Qantas in one way or another as Air NZ knows only too well. for example the Oz government may decree that 50% of trans tasman seats must be those of Oz airlines and 60% of these must be Qantas.
