Comments on: Qantas trashes the brand to save the business http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/06/24/qantas-trashes-the-brand-to-save-the-business/ now with extra source Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:48:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Connor Moran http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/06/24/qantas-trashes-the-brand-to-save-the-business/#comment-9123 Connor Moran Thu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +0000 #comment-9123 I do not want aircraft I fly on serviced in any other country than Australia by Australian workers directly employed by the organization they (should) have a stake in. I want it unionized and prepared to push back strongly against management to maintain standards. What is concerning is the near complete deterioration of the management/worker relationship under Dixon, and the ineptitude of CASA. Happy, engaged workers and a regulator doing it's job would be preferable.

If you don't have a strong and united workforce who is prepared to take on management on critical issues; safety suffers. Utopia? Sure, like the capitalist profit motive hasn't killed any innocent customers? Can you say NSW Trains? Granleese: perhaps you could do some reading on aircraft crashes in third world countries?

I subscribe to read articles not to have a poorly placed unfunny cartoon from the work experience cartoonist to block the middle of the article. mr Smith this was done deliberately I was shouting.
