Hello T Pot.
What's happening in AmboLand?
There is a big spread of pro Ambo stuff in today's Herald Sun.
See it? You get good press.
So as I see it you are obliged to be on call as little as 8 hours after completing a shift.
That is the problem, yes?
Can I ask how is it that the Ambos are in this untenable situation?
Surely your Union must be the worst in history to allow the problem to exist in the first place.
Almost every job/profession kinda has 12 to 16 hours between shifts.
And that has been the case for all your life anyway, and almost all of mine.
Surely you and others would have been aware of the stipulation when you signed on.
No criticism here I just want to understand better.
The public just want to know that the guys coming to save us in our hour of need don't themselves need saving!
So I'm on your side in this.
Do you get supplied with knee pads for the times you work in broken glass?
Best wishes.
Peter J.
