Boo Hoo - Sookie sookie la la

We here at certified shafting get lots of information from time to time; some of this information is 'gold', some is unrepeatable, some is made up and scurrilous, some is just damn funny.


We understand that at last weeks National Executive meeting there was broad and robust discussions about the treatment ALMs are getting from the rank and file membership of Civil Air.


The ATSM Divisional rep, doing his job, representing his members, reported about commentary he had received from ALMs.  Apparently the collective ALM group is pissed off and annoyed at the way the rank and file members lambaste (bag, rubbish, admonish, castigate, chastise, chide, rebuke, reprimand) them particularly in an anonymous fashion on the various forums, but particularly so on the unions forum.


We here at Certified Shafting have absolutely nothing to say other than HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.


NOW THAT IS FUNNY!


The poor little "cherubs" who failed to follow, our advice, the unions advice and has generally individualised themselves away from the collective by signing an AWA.   Now they are annoyed that the individuals who potentially have been shafted by these ALMs and the decisions they took to remove themselves from the collective are having a go at them.  


BOO HOO! Grow up.  


You had a choice, whatever your individual justification, you deserve what you get, you made your choice.  You are now a manager, you are on your own AWA.  For those who attempt to justify you had no choice, well you were wrong, you just couldn’t stomach the other options, go cry to your mum, not your union.


For the ALMs (and other senior roles) who held strong and didn’t sign an individual contract (AWA) good on you, we hope the stench flowing towards your ‘colleagues’ doesn’t stick to you too.

You pricks have dug your own grave.

Fantastic post to promote unity and mutual respect within the Professional and Industrial association that is CivilAir…especially when we are under such close scrutiny of the employer and the media!

CivilAir does not and can not exclude membership based upon age, race, religion or gender and neither can it exclude membership based upon industrial agreement!

There is a radical difference between the individual’s capability within a role and the industrial agreement they are on. Attacking the group over an individual’s perceived performance within a role achieves nothing except division and acrimony. Doing this in a public forum, even the slightly less public arena of CivilAir’s ‘members only forums’, also exposes both the ‘poster’ and the ‘site owner’ to legal action.

In the current ‘bargaining’, using the term very loosely of course, how much influence/impact do you think the 30 or so CivilAir ALM members will really have?

Answer: NONE. They can not vote on it.

Regardless, they continue to support an association, both monetarily and through action, while a small, vocal and downright rude/crude minority hide behind their ‘anonymity’ to continually make personal attacks.

Focus on the real issues people:
Lack of staff,
Lack of adequate compensation,
Lack of adequate support tools,
Lack of adequate training, and
Poor (read Total mis-) Management for years.

Stumbled across this blog. So good of you to dedicate your lives (um 30 hours a week for about 30 weeks a year for huge money) to keep us safe. Thanks. Thanks a bunch.

Can't believe you tell people to grow up when you're the biggest bunch of sooking whingers I've ever heard.

Personally I'd sack the freakin lot of ya!

If it were, um 30 hours a week for um 30 weeks a year then we'd agree with you Mr Annon.
