Redundancy @ FreightCorp?

["avachat" <avachat@dingoblue.net.au>]

Their are notices posted in the Delec Train Crew Assignment building from
many of those who argue that it is their right to receive a redundancy
payout when FreightCorp is sold.They base their argument on the following
two scenarios.
Those who originally went to National Rail received an incentive payment
plus accessed their Super.
Then their was the GrainCorp experience where FreightCorp drivers received
the redundancy on a Friday and started with GrainCorp on the following
Monday.
The RTBU Locomotive Division ( 3 Bobs ) feel somewhat differently, citing
the AN experience where the new owner
signed up their employees on AWAs.Sure they received the redundancy but are
far worse off now.
The vast majority i am informed are still employed as casuals and are
earning far below what they enjoyed with AN.
The 3 Bobs are arguing for continuity of employment so as the award
conditions remain in place.Their is much to lose by taking the dangerous
road many are demanding, all for a short term monitory gain.
I am not posting this to create heated debate, but would welcome the views
of the many active authors to this NG plus maybe some of the lurkers who
subscribe but don't type much.
Cheers
